DEBBIE

BLACK

u Debbie Black was hired as the sixth women’s basketball coach in EIU history on May 16, 2013.

eferencing a children’s book about herself, - Tiny, Terrific Debbie Black – Debbie Black talked about the story of a young, undersized girl achieving her dream of first playing basketball and then coaching basketball. The next chapter in that continuing life story began on May 16, 2013 as Black was hired as the sixth head women’s basketball coach in the NCAA Division I history of Eastern Illinois University and eighth since the inception of the program.

In her first season Black coached a young EIU women’s team to their seventh straight appearance in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, an active streak that is tied for the longest in the league. The Panthers posted an 11-19 record after losing four senior starters to graduation from the OVC regular season championship squad. The Panthers were led by junior post player Sabina Oroszova who earned second team All-OVC honors while setting the school record for points in a game with 38 at Bradley. A former assistant coach at Ohio State University, Black has worked and played for some of the most successful coaches in women’s basketball. Prior to coming to EIU Black was part of a successful run for the Buckeyes women’s program under head coach Jim Foster that saw Ohio State win six Big Ten Conference Championships in eight seasons. The program made seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with her as a member of the staff including advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2009 and 2011. In addition to helping coach successful teams, Black has been instrumental in the development of player success. Coaching guards at Ohio State her players won four Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors and one Big Ten Player of the Year honor. Multiple players have gone on to professional careers both in the WNBA and overseas including Ohio State players Samantha Prahalis and Tayler Hill, each of whom was selected in the first round of the WNBA draft. “I opened my introductory press conference telling you about the book that is used in third grade classes as a source for motivation. That story ends with me being an assistant coach but my story continues with this head coaching opportunity at Eastern Illinois,” said Black. “I always knew my story would continue because I know my character and my work ethic. I never quit, never stop. I believe you have to work hard and give it your all everyday. That is they way I played and that is the way I coach.” Black’s ties to Jim Foster go back to her playing days at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. As a player she helped lead the Hawks to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Black is a 1988 graduate of Saint Joseph’s and a member of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.

I’m sure that Eastern Illinois is about to find that out.” ...
