Laura Beeman will remain with the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa athletics department as associate athletics director for student-athlete success following her retirement as Rainbow Wahine basketball coach.<\/p>\n

The appointment is expected to be presented to the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Board of Regents on May 21. Athletic Director Matt Elliott praised Beeman\u2019s leadership and said her more than 30 years of coaching experience made the move a natural fit for the department.<\/p>\n

“I would like to thank President Hensel, the Board of Regents and Matt Elliott for this opportunity,” Beeman said. “I love the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>. The people I have spent the last 14 years working with have become ʻohana<\/span>. Continuing to work with the student-athletes, coaches and community is yet another dream come true.”<\/p>\n

Beeman retired from coaching on March 30<\/a> after leading the Rainbow Wahine program for 14 seasons. In her new role, she will oversee student-athlete support services, including academic support, compliance, health and wellness, and professional development. She will also assist with coach development and community engagement initiatives.<\/p>\n

During her tenure, Beeman guided the Rainbow Wahine to four Big West regular-season championships, three conference tournament titles and nine postseason appearances, including three NCAA<\/abbr> Tournament berths. She finished with a 244-180 record and earned four Big West Coach of the Year honors.<\/p>\n
