DETROIT -- Wayne State University women's basketball concluded its inaugural Elite Post Camp this past weekend. The two-day clinic focused on post play and used professional instruction from highly knowledgeable camp clinicians. At WSU, the goal is to help develop post players with the needed skill-set to dominate the game on both ends of the floor.
"The girls Elite Post Camp was a huge success," stated head women's basketball coach Carrie Lohr. "We had tremendous support from the community high school coaches, alumni and young student-athletes. We are looking forward to this becoming an annual event."
The camp featured some impressive camp instructors. Darrin McAllister joined the Wayne State University women's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach in the fall of 2011. Working significantly with the Warrior post players, he assisted Juanita Cochran in earning Second Team All-GLIAC, GLIAC All-Tournament and NCAA Midwest All-Regional accolades in 2013. During the 2012-13 season, McAllister helped guide the Warriors to the second-most wins in a season (22) as well as the first two NCAA tournament wins in program history. The squad tied for the GLIAC North Division title with a 17-5 league record, the first conference crown of any type since the 1980-81 campaign.
