Entering her second season on the Wake Forest women's basketball coaching staff is Beth Kane, whose primary responsibilities include scouting opponents, coordinating the videotape exchange, on-campus recruiting, and practice and game coaching. She works with both the post and perimeter players. A 1991 graduate of Colgate University, Kane came to Wake Forest from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where she was the Bulldogs' top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the past year. Last season, Kane helped lead UNC Asheville to the Big South finals, marking the first-ever appearance by the Bulldogs in a conference title game. From 1995-97, Kane served as the head women's basketball coach and senior women's administrator at Clarkson University, a Division III program in Potsdam, NY. During her two years there, Kane also served as the New York State Women's Collegiate Athletic Association basketball committee chair. Prior to her tenure at Clarkson, Kane served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute in 1994-95 and as a volunteer assistant coach at Harvard University in 1993-94. A guard in her playing days at Colgate, Kane still ranks among the Red Raiders' top ten all-time leaders in assists per game. After her graduation, Kane played a year of professional basketball abroad, competing with the Schwabbing club of Munich, Germany, in the 1993 season. Serving as both a player and an assistant coach for that team, she helped Schwabbing to a first-place finish at the 1993 Kozgas International Tournament in Budapest, Hungary, and earned Tournament MVP honors for her play. |
