University of Iowa's head women's basketball coach, Jan Jensen, has excitedly announced the addition of two new staff members to the Hawkeye team. Randi Henderson and Sean Sullivan, both University of Iowa graduates, will be joining the coaching staff. Henderson will serve as an assistant coach, while Sullivan will act as an assistant coach and general manager.

Henderson brings with her an impressive track record, having spent the last seven seasons as the head women's basketball coach at WashU in St. Louis. Under her leadership, Henderson's teams achieved a remarkable record of 103-54 (.656), with four appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Henderson's coaching expertise led the Bears to four top three finishes in the University Athletic Association in seven seasons.

In the 2018-19 season, Henderson led the Bears to the UAA Title with a conference play record of 13-1. WashU went on to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, reaching the sectional finals and concluding the season with a 22-7 mark. Henderson's outstanding achievements were recognized when she was named the Central Region Coach of the Year by D3hoops.com. Additionally, she and her assistant coaches were honored as the UAA Coaching Staff of the Year.

Henderson's coaching prowess was evident during her first season at WashU, where she guided the Bears to a 19-8 record and secured an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the second round. She consistently demonstrated a commitment to offensive excellence, with her team ranking in the top-10 nationally in multiple categories, including 3-point field goal percentage, assists per game, and field goal percentage.

Prior to her tenure at WashU, Henderson served as an assistant coach at Charlotte for two years, where she made an immediate impact on the team's performance. She helped guide Charlotte to a 19-11 record and a top-four Conference USA Championship ranking, with the team excelling in scoring and field goal percentage. Henderson's coaching journey also included nine successful years as the head women's basketball coach at Coe College and a season at the University of Minnesota-Morris.

On the other hand, Sean Sullivan joins the Hawkeye coaching staff after a stint as the director of player personnel, development, and recruiting operations at North Carolina. Prior to that, he held positions as the director of video for the women's basketball program at Pitt and as the director of scouting & digital technology at Penn State. Sullivan's experience and expertise in video coordination and player development will undoubtedly contribute to the Hawkeye team's growth and success.

The addition of both Randi Henderson and Sean Sullivan to the coaching staff strengthens the University of Iowa's women's basketball program. With their impressive backgrounds and commitment to excellence, they are poised to make a significant impact on the team's performance in the coming seasons. Under the guidance of Coach Jan Jensen and the enhanced coaching staff, the Hawkeyes look forward to achieving new milestones and building on their legacy of success.
