THE COACHING STAFF KATHY OLIVIER • 13TH YEAR (20TH OVERALL AT UCLA) • UNLV (‘82)

Kathy Olivier was named head coach of the Bruins on May 3, 1993 and has energized the program. The former standout player at Cal State Fullerton and UNLV has helped to produce two Pac-10 Players of the Year, three Pac-10 Freshmen of the Year and a Pac-10 team cham- pionship. She is the only current Pac-10 coach to have as many as three freshmen named fi rst-team All-Conference performers. From 1998-2000, she guided UCLA to a school-best three-straight NCAA tournament appearances and had the Bruins in the NCAA tournament again in 2004. Interest in UCLA women’s has taken off to new levels under Olivier. The only six regular season crowds in Bruin history of over 7,000 fans have come out to support the Bruins during her tenure. In fact, the top 13 regular season crowds in school history have come with Olivier at the helm. Recognized as an excellent recruiter, she has steadily built the program to refl ect her own positive, upbeat and outgoing personality. Now set to begin her 13th season as UCLA head coach, Olivier has posted a 181-164 overall mark which includes fi ve top-four Pac-10 fi nishes in the last eight seasons. Her teams may favor a running game on off ense, but defense is another Olivier strong . Six of the all-time school top 10 marks for lowest opponent fi eld percentages belong to Olivier-coached squads. In 2005, Nikki Blue garnered her third straight fi rst-team All-Pac-10 honors and was joined on the fi rst team by Lisa Willis. The Bruins lost leading scorer and rebounder (at the time) CAREER HIGHLIGHTS to a knee injury and fi nished sixth in the Pac-10 after posting non-conference wins over then-No. 4 ranked Texas and then-No. 14 Purdue.

The 12 wins included fi ve on the road, a total bettered by only one other school that season. Her team set a school record for free throw shooting (.716) and Blue became just the seventh freshman player in conference history to be named to the fi rst-team All-Pac-10 team. Michelle Greco joined Natalie Williams and Rehema Stephens as Bruins who have led the Pac-10 in scoring in multiple seasons. In 2002, Olivier guided a team which lost its two leading scorers during the season to the quarterfi nal round of the Pac-10 tournament. The team fi nished with the sixth-best defensive shooting percentage in school history at .413. In 2001, Olivier guided a team which was playing without eight of its top nine scorers from the previous season to a winning record at home in Pac-10 play and to wins over two nationally-ranked opponents. Greco became the fourth Bruin to lead the Pac-10 in scoring and was named fi rst-team all-conference. In 2000, Olivier saw her team set a school attendance mark for the home season with an average of over 3,700 fans. The team battled injuries all season and a schedule which saw them tangle with three of the eventual Final Four teams and two others which advanced to the Elite 8. Maylana Martin became the second-leading scorer in Bruin women’s basketball history during the year, and Janae Hubbard and Marie Philman each became members of the UCLA 1,000-point club. Martin also became just the third player in Pac-10 history ever to be named to the all-conference team for four-straight seasons. In 1999, Olivier guided her team to the school’s fi rst-ever Pac-10 Conference championship and a best-ever Elite Eight fi nish in the NCAA tournament. A 26-8 record marked UCLA’s fi rst back-to-back 20-win seasons since a three-peat in the 1977-79 campaigns. The 26 wins were the most by a Bruin team since the 1981 squad went 29-7 and the third-highest in school annuls. The team set a school and conference record for shooting percentage in a game (.695) and went on to shoot .476 for the season, the best mark since 1984. The fi nal ranking of No. 7 in the nation was the highest ever for a UCLA team in the USA Today coaches poll and the best fi nish in any poll since a similar ranking in the Associated Press poll in 1981.

It was the fi rst 20-win season for a Bruin team since its last NCAA team won 21 in 1992. The season also marked the fi rst time a Bruin team had been ranked in the regular season Associated Press poll for more than a week’s time since 1982-83. Martin, the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 1997 and the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1999, became just the third Bruin to score a total of over 1,000 career points after just two years. LaCresha Flannigan, 1996 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Erica Gomez and Martin each earned fi rst-team all-conference honors in 1999. In addition to these fi ne players, as an assistant coach, Olivier had been instrumental in landing All-Everything two-sport standout Natalie Williams, recognized as the Pac-10’s Athlete of the Decade in a 1996 vote of confer- ence offi cials.
