| On May 7, 2008, Lady Vol Head Coach Pat Summitt announced the hiring of Daedra Charles-Furlow as an assistant coach to fill the position left open by Nikki Caldwell. Charles-Furlow graduated with the University of Tennessee's class of 1991 with outstanding accomplishments as a student-athlete. She led the Lady Vols basketball team in scoring, rebounding, and blocked shots in both the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Even though the 6'3 center played only three seasons after redshirting her freshman year, she accomplished more than many players who had four seasons of playing time. ... In her time, Charles-Furlow was the seventh-ranked career scorer with 1,495 points, was sixth in rebounding with 858 boards and second in blocked shots with 97 rejects in her college career. In 1991, Charles-Furlow was a finalist for the Woody Hayes Award as the nation's most outstanding Student-Athlete. She was a key contributor to the 1988-89 NCAA Championship team. She was the first Tennessee or SEC player to receive the most prestigious award in women's collegiate basketball in 1991, the Margaret Wade Trophy. ... Charles-Furlow was a KODAK All-American in both 1990 and 1991. As a senior, she was Southeastern Conference Woman Athlete of the Year and a member of the U.S. Basketball Writers' Association and Basketball Weekly's All-America Teams. As a senior, she was named to the All-Tournament teams at the NCAA Final Four, Mideast Regional and SEC Championships. She was awarded with the 1990-91 NCAA Championship teams' MVP, Coaches' Award, and Best Rebounder. When she graduated in August 1991, finishing in four years despite having been admitted as an NCAA proposition 48 student, she had a degree in child and family studies. ... The Lady Vol standout was one of only five to have her number (32) retired, along with Holly Warlick, Bridgette Gordon, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Tamika Catchings. ... After college, Charles-Furlow played basketball professionally overseas in Italy, Japan, Turkey and France from 1991-96. In her first season after leaving UT, Charles-Furlow helped her Como, Italy, team to the Italian championship. Her second season of international play brought another team championship, this time for her Japanese squad. In her final international season, she helped her Turkey club to a league title before returning to the United States and was the eighth overall pick of the Los Angeles Sparks in the 1997 WNBA Elite Draft. ... She spent the last two seasons as an assistant under Nell Fortner with Auburn University's women's basketball program. In 2007-08, Charles-Furlow assisted the Tigers to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2004. She helped develop DeWanna Bonner into one of the most versatile players in the country, as Bonner excels at four different positions. In 2007-08, Bonner earned honorable mention All-American by the WBCA and State F |
