NEW ORLEANS – Tulane women's basketball senior Harlyn Wyatt earned a spot in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's "So You Want To Be A Coach" program on Wednesday, marking the fifth consecutive year that a Green Wave player will participate in the program.
 
Wyatt is one of 60 players in the country from all levels of college athletics who will take part in the program and is the only player selected from the American Athletic Conference.
 
Selected players will travel to Tampa, Florida, to take part in the three-day workshop with speakers provided by WeCOACH on April 3-5.
"So You Want To Be A Coach" program aims to increase the understanding and application of skills necessary to secure coaching positions in women's basketball, increase the understanding and awareness of competencies necessary for success in coaching, introduce female basketball players to coaches and administrators, and raise awareness of the existing talent pool of female basketball players who have a passion and interest in coaching the game of women's basketball.

"'So You Want To Be A Coach' is the longest-running education program the WBCA offers, and it remains as popular with member coaches and student-athletes today as it was when it began 16 years ago," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "'So' is the entry point for women's basketball players who want to coach. Because of their participation in it, more than 400 former college women's basketball players are currently working as coaches or in some role in our sport."

Last year, then-senior Kolby Morgan was selected to participate in the program. Leslie Vorpahl took part in 2017, Chinwe Duru and Tierra Jones earned selections in 2016, and Tulane's Danielle Blagg was part of the program in 2015. Olivia Grayson and Tyria Snow got to participate in 2013.
