“Coach Cooper-Dyke has had a tremendous impact on TSU women’s basketball since her arrival and moved the program to new heights,” said Kevin Granger, TSU’s Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics, in a media release. “She will be missed as I wish her nothing but success in her future endeavors.” Cooper-Dyke finishes as TSU’s third-winningest head coach in school history, helping lead the Tigers to their first-ever SWAC regular season championship in 2013. That season, she helped TSU win 20 games for the first time ever, complete with their first-ever postseason appearance. In between her two stints at Texas Southern, Cooper also was the women’s basketball head coach for four seasons at her alma mater, the University of Southern California, compiling a 70-57 record.
Granger will handle the interim day-to-day duties for TSU’s women’s basketball program until a new hire is made.Born in Canada but raised in Houston, Howard joined KPRC 2 in 2021 after five years at ESPN.
