ABOUT HEAD COACH TENNILLE ADAMSHoward University Director of Athletics Louis “Skip” Perkins named Tennille Adams as the new head women’s basketball coach on May 24, 2013. Adams comes to Howard with an impressive record, including an integral role in six double-figure winning seasons at Northwestern University and a notable coaching career with Big Ten, Patriot League and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Division I institutions.
While at Northwestern (five seasons), Adams was named defensive coordinator (2012-13), offensive coordinator (2011-12), while being instrumental in Northwestern’s 10th best turnaround season, a fourth place finish in the BCS (2009), back-to-back WNIT appearances (2009-10 and 2010-11), and the development of two First Team All-Big Ten student-athletes, one Third Team All-Big Ten student-athlete, and one Big Ten All-Freshman Team selection.
No stranger to the District of Columbia, Adams was the assistant women’s basketball coach at American University. Adams was responsible for recruiting as well as key involvement on post player development and the point person for academic affairs and external relations with the basketball program.
Prior to her stint at American, Adams spent two years with the Aggies of North Carolina A&T State University as an assistant to the legendary Patricia Cage-Bibbs.
Adams, a standout at the University of Arkansas, began her coaching career in 2004 as an assistant at Lon Morris Junior College in Jacksonville, Texas.
As a student-athlete at Arkansas, Adams was a member of the 1997-98 Final Four team and the 1998-99 WNIT Championship team. On an individual level, Adams was ranked in the top five post players in the nation and as one of the top 50 seniors by Blue Star. Adams completed her matriculation with a bachelor’s of art in English.
Adams will inherit a program with strong reputation of winning, including three consecutive championship game appearances, two invitations to the WNIT (2011 and 2012), the first-ever Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) appearance (2013), and two 20+ wins seasons
