A grant from the Coaches Association of Ontario has supported the Lancer women’s basketball team in hiring Lee Anna Osei to a three-year term as a full-time assistant coach.
Osei comes to Windsor from the Toronto Raptors Development Academy, where she is a basketball coach clinician and skills trainer. She served as head coach of the St. Francis Xavier University women's basketball team for four seasons and as an all-star player during her studies at Wilfrid Laurier University.
“Lee Anna and I have known each other for years and have a deep mutual respect for one another,” says head coach Chantal Vallée. “I have always admired her resiliency as a player, coach, and as a person.
“I was thrilled at the possibility to invest in her and help her reach new successes in life.”
