BUFFALO, NY - University at Buffalo women's basketball head coach Felisha Legette-Jack was named to Buffalo Business First's annual Power 150 Women in Western New York list, as announced by the publication on Wednesday. Legette-Jack placed 82nd on the list, receiving the honor for the second time as one of the most influential women in all of Western New York.
Over her impressive coaching career, Legette-Jack has developed a reputation for being one of the most powerful women on the sidelines but she is now being recognized as a force in the Buffalo community as well. The Syracuse, NY native has grown the UB women's basketball program into a perennial contender in the Mid-American Conference and nationally, leading the Bulls to three NCAA Tournament appearances in the last five years. Under her tutelage, the Bulls have won 20+ games in four of the last five seasons and have won 17+ games in seven straight seasons for the first time since joining the MAC in 1998.
On the sidelines, Legette-Jack owns a career coaching record of 303-261 while leading the Bulls to a 162-98 overall record during her eight years in Buffalo. She became the program's all-time winningest coach with the Bulls' win at Kent State on January 25th. Legette-Jack has not only helped lead UB to success on the court but also inside the classroom and in the Buffalo community through her "CAB" philosophy of character, academics and basketball. Under her guidance, 22 student-athletes have earned Academic All-MAC honors and her teams have been involved in several community service projects around the community.
The impressive list, expanded from 125 to 150, includes the likes of CEO's, President's and Directors of some of the biggest businesses in Western New York. Business First describes this list as "a group whose talent and influence fuel economic, social and cultural growth."
