UNC Greensboro

Former UNCG point guard Amanda Eaton returns as an assistant coach for the 2006-07 season.

The Wheeling, WV native was a four-year starter in the backcourt for Agee from 2001-05. She scored 948 points in her career and made a program-best 169 three-point field goals. She also ranks second in free throw shooting with a .806 (175-for-217) career shooting percentage.

“We are thrilled to have Amanda back in our program,” said Agee. “She was one of the most dedicated players I have ever seen and we expect her to be the same way as a coach. The first hand knowledge she has playing along side many of our current players and against current players in the conference will be a great asset to the coaching staff.”

After graduation from UNCG, Eaton remained in the area and began her coaching career last season heading up the Junior Varsity girl’s program at Northwest Guilford High School in Greensboro. She led the Vikings to a first place finish in the Metro 4A Conference with a 21-4 record.

With her experience as a guard, Eaton will work along side associate coach Carol Peschel with the UNCG backcourt players. Eaton will also be in charge of the tape exchange program, while assisting in all other facets of the program.
