PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY: PBA Hires Redus as New Women's Basketball Coach

Palm Beach Atlantic University issued the following announcement on May 24.

Palm Beach Atlantic University has appointed Manisha Redus as its next women's basketball coach.

Redus will join the Sailfish after spending the last three years as an assistant at the University of West Georgia. While with the Wolves, she helped the team increase their win total each year, culminating with a 16-win season in 2017-18.

"Her exceptional experience as both an Southeastern Conference student athlete and Division II coach will provide the leadership and direction we need to move our program forward in the Sunshine State Conference (SSC)," Director of Athletics Carolyn Stone said, in announcing Redus' appointment. "She is focused on and excited to develop Christian game changers. I know our program will grow spiritually, academically and athletically under her leadership."

Prior to joining West Georgia, Redus was an assistant coach at the University of Montevallo for two years. She was also a graduate assistant for two seasons at the University of West Alabama.

Redus played four years at the University of Alabama from 2000-04, graduating in 2005 with a degree in marketing. She started every game for the Crimson Tide during her junior and senior seasons.

"I'm so excited to get down to PBA and start the process of growing relationships and making this program competitive in the very tough Sunshine State Conference,"Redus said. "I'm so anxious to start working with a great group of ladies and being intentional about positively impacting their lives on and off the court."

She will take over a Sailfish program that just completed their first year as a full member of the Sunshine State Conference, finishing 4-22 overall and 3-17 in the sports organization's competitions.

"The motto, Developing Christian Game Changers, gets me fired up to provide leadership to a group that will exude hard work and discipline in the classroom, on the court, and in the community," Redus said.
