Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, who played on two NCAA championship teams at USC and starred in the WNBA, has been hired as USC’s women’s basketball coach, the school announced.

Cooper-Dyke has also coached at UNC-Wilmington and Prairie View A&M. She has an eight-year record of 150-106.

Last season, Texas Southern finished 20-12 and won the Southwestern Athletic Conference regular-season title.

“If you were to ask me what my dream job was at any point in my coaching career, I would always have said my dream is to come back and lead the USC women’s basketball team, Cooper-Dyke said in a statement. I’m literally living the dream coming back to California and being named the new women’s basketball coach at USC.”
