WASHINGTON, D.C. --  Howard University women's basketball head coach Ty Grace has announced Donnie Stith as a new assistant coach. "Donnie is a great addition to our staff. His background playing at the Division I collegiate level and overseas will definitely be an asset to our team. He will work with our post players and assist with all the day to day operations of the program," stated Grace.

Prior to Howard, Stith was the head coach at the Boo Williams Summer League in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Before that he was the varsity head coach at Salem High School after receiving a promotion from being the boys varsity assistant coach.

"His experience on the high school and Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) level has allowed him to build great relationships, that will help with our recruiting ties throughout the east coast and and other areas. I'm excited for his passion to learn and help develop our student-athletes on and off the court."

Stith has an extensive background playing basketball. In college he was a member of the Tulane University team under the tutelage of head coach Dave Dickerson. His team finished third in the semi-finals of the 2006-2007 Conference USA tournament. Stith appeared in 118 games playing over 2,600 minutes.
