The Southern University women’s basketball program has two newcomers but one of them really isnt new at all. In fact, her face is about is familiar as they come.

Rolanda Monroe, a two-time Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year and two-time SWAC tournament MVP, has replaced T.J. Pugh as an assistant, head coach Sandy Pugh said Friday.

Monroe helped the Jaguars win two SWAC championships from 2002-06 and finished her college career as the programs all-time leading scorer.

He took over as boys basketball coach at McKinley High School this summer.
