Kudos to CR......looks like she and Matt have been doing some nice things at Marshall and now she is going to Furman.......nice article from LCD......

GREENVILLE S.C. — Former University of Central Arkansas basketball Hall of Famer Caronia Randle is the new associate women’s head coach at Furman, Univesity.

Randle, who spent four seasons as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at UCA, joins the Furman after four years as assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator at Marshall under former Sugar Bear coach Matt Daniel.

“She is highly respected in our profession, and success has followed her to each stop in her career,” said Furman head coach Jackie Carson. “Her energy, spirit, and positive attitude make her a highly effective recruiter and will provide great motivation to the young ladies in our program.”

During her four-year tenure at Marshall, Randle played a pivotal role in the Thundering Herd’s resurgence that produced the program’s first-ever postseason win, a Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI) triumph over Northern Kentucky in 2014-15, and Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) appearance this past year. Marshall’s 21-win campaign in 2015-16 marked its highest victory tally in three decades.

Fueling the Herd’s rise were strong Randle-directed recruiting efforts that netted three All-Conference USA performers, including the program’s inaugural first team selection. Marshall’s 2015-16 recruiting effort was ranked 52nd nationally by Blue Star Report.

At UCA, she helped the Sugar Bears transition from NCAA Division II to Division 1 and register the program’s first Southland Conference championship and three 21-win seasons and two postseason appearances.

A Forrest Citynative, Randle was a basketball standout for the Sugar Bears, scoring 2,089 points to finish third in school history and averaging 17.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in her four-year career. She helped lead Central Arkansas to 20 victories per season over her playing tenure, highlighted by Gulf South Conference regular-season and tournament championships, two NCAA Division II regional appearances, a school record 28 wins and NCAA Division II national semifinal in 2004-05, and a second place finish in the Southland Conference East Division in UCA’s first season in Division I.

A two-time All-GSC first team honoree, Randle was named conference player of the year in 2006, garnered a pair of Division II honorable mention All-America honors, and was voted Most Outstanding Player of the 2005 Division II South Regional. She was named to the All-Southland first team in 2007 after leading the league in scoring in UCA’s first year in the conference.

She was named to the Gulf South Conference West Division All-Decade second team and in 2014 was inducted into the Forrest City High School Hall of Fame. Last year, she was enshrined into the University of Central Arkansas Hall of Fame.

Congrats to Caronica!! Nice article at link above...excerpt below.

Timing was right for Williams’ return
by Erick Taylor | July 8, 2020 at 2:00 a.m.

Coaching high school basketball wasn’t on Caronica Randle Williams’ radar when she returned to her home state last spring to be an assistant with the Arkansas State University women’s team.

But one phone call and a bundle of joy gave her just enough incentive to change course.

“Everything happens for a reason,” said Williams, who left her post at ASU to become the head coach at her alma mater, Forrest City, in May. “I had no intentions whatsoever of getting into coaching at the high school level. The opportunity came out of nowhere really because it wasn’t necessarily something I was searching for.

“But at the same time, the timing couldn’t have been any better, especially with everything that was going on with me and my family.”

A special situation was needed to coax Williams, a former all-state player at Forrest City, into leaving Division-I coaching for the prep circuit.

The 34-year-old graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in 2008 as the third-leading scorer in Sugar Bears’ history. She would spend the next four years on the UCA’s women’s staff as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under Matt Daniel. Williams later thrived in those same roles for four years at Marshall when Daniel took over the Thundering Herd in 2012.

She was also an associate head coach at Furman from 2016-19 before reuniting with Daniel at ASU last year as the Red Wolves’ associate head coach.
