Former WNBA All-Star will lead the Tennessee State Tigers women's basketball team.
"I am thrilled about the opportunity to lead and coach the future of women's basketball at Tennessee State University," said Dupree. "I am eager to continue building our program in alignment with the incredible culture and values embodied within the Tiger Family. It is an honor to be entrusted with upholding the tradition and legacy of TSU while embracing the evolving landscape of sports.
Following her retirement from the WNBA in 2021, Dupree embarked on a new journey by participating in the NBA Coaching Development Program. She honed her skills in building scouting reports, analyzing film across various platforms, and expanding her professional network. Dupree's initial coaching venture began at the NBA draft combine, where she led a team of prospects.
