Head women's basketball coach Semeka Randall Lay announced the hiring of Maya Wynn as an assistant coach in June of 2022.
Wynn joined the Eagles from Cincinnati, where she served as an interim assistant coach last season.
"I'm very excited that Maya joined the staff", said head coach Semeka Randall Lay. "Maya brings a unique element to our staff with her understanding the commitment it takes to win championships at the Division I level. Her enthusiasm, energy, dedication and attention to detail will help our program. I believe she will instantly connect with our student-athletes and help them grow on and off the court".
During her time at Cincinnati, she worked with film, created and executed skill development plans for multiple players, planned weekly academic meeting with players, and compiled/organized high school schedules and transcripts during the evaluation process.
Wynn briefly served as the special assistant to the head coach in the fall of 2021. Prior to her arrival in Cincinnati, she spent one season as an assistant coach at Loyola University (Md.). While there, she was responsible for working with post players, breaking down film, developing scouting reports, planning team activities, and facilitating postseason workouts.
"I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to join coach Semeka Randall Lay's staff at Winthrop University," Wynn said. "Coach Randall Lay has had an exceptional career at both the collegiate and professional levels, and I'm excited for the opportunity to learn from her. I hope to come in and add to the success of the Winthrop women's basketball program."
Before heading to Loyola, Wynn served as an assistant coach at Albright College (Pa.) and worked as a graduate assistant in the Saint Francis (Pa.) athletic department.
She graduated from Saint Francis with a bachelor's degree in accounting and is working on a master's degree in education from Albright.
