Reese joins the Explorers after most recently coaching at her high-school alma mater, Mansfield Senior High. After two years in Ohio, Reese is ready to return back to 20th & Olney and join the Explorer family in a different role than player.
"I am super excited to be back in Philly and back at La Salle. I'm eager to be paying forward everything I've learned about basketball over the years," said Reese. "It's been my dream to be a college basketball coach. To be able to live out that dream at my alma mater is surreal."
