Long Beach City College assistant women’s basketball coach of nine years, Ollie Brent, is now the new interim head coach of women’s basketball after the recent departure of head coach Michael Anderson, who was with the team for nine years.
During his time as assistant coach Brent helped the Vikings win four South Coast Conference championships.
Brent discussed his comfort with his new role after being assistant coach for nine years and his excitement for the new opportunity in his career.
“Our program has been good for years and I’m honored to be in such a familiar setting and be able to keep building our program and I’m excited and ready for what next season has in store,” Brent said.
The Vikings had a struggling season this year, in which they missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years, with an overall record of 13-15 and conference record of 6-4.
As women’s basketball returns next Fall with Brent being the new head coach, optimism is high.
