HEAD COACH JONATHAN TSIPIS

hen Jonathan Tsipis was named head coach of the George Washington women’s basketball team in April 2012, he was tasked with re-establishing the Colonials as a national power and the most dominant team in the Atlantic 10 Conference . Just three Wyears later, Coach Tsipis has done just that . In 2015, Coach Tsipis was voted Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year as he led GW to a 29-4 overall record - setting a program record for wins and winning percentage - an Atlantic 10 regular-season title with a 15-1 league mark, an A-10 championship and its first berth in the NCAA Tournament since 2008. The Colonials, who won both the regular-season and tournament crowns for the first time since 2003, became the first No. 1 seed to win the A-10 tournament since Xavier in 2011. GW won 19 straight games during an 11-week span that stretched from before Thanksgiving to nearly Valentine’s Day and included victories over N .C . State and Purdue in the Bahamas en route to a Junkanoo Jam championship . It matched the second-longest streak in program history and jettisoned the Colonials into the national rankings, where they remained for the final 10 weeks of the season, peaking at No. 19.

The Colonials established themselves as the top rebounding team in the nation, leading all of Division I with a +13 .8 rebounding margin behind A-10 Player and Defensive Player of the Year Jonquel Jones, whose 375 rebounds shattered GW’s pervious single-season record, which had stood for more than two decades. Jones, who was just the fourth player in conference history to win both Player and Defensive Player of the Year, became the first Colonial to earn All-America honors since 2008 when she garnered honorable mention from both the Associated Press and WBCA . The junior was also one of 30 midseason candidates for the prestigious Naismith Trophy, which is given to the national player of the year .

GW’s quick turnaround began almost immediately upon Coach Tsipis’ hiring. In his first season at the helm, he guided the Colonials to their first A-10 Champion- ship victory since 2008 and their most overall (14) and conference wins (7) since 2009 .

In Year Two, Coach Tsipis and the Colonials took it a step farther . In the second game of the 2013-14 season, GW knocked off No . 10/11 California, a 2013 Final Four participant, at the Smith Center . The Colonials would tie for second place in the Atlantic 10 standings with an 11-5 conference record after defeating their second ranked opponent of the season, No. 21 Dayton, on Senior Day, earning a bye through to the quarterfinals of the A-10 Championship, where they beat defending champ Saint Joseph’s to advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2008. GW earned a bid to the WNIT, making its first postseason appear- ance since 2009, and reached the third round after defeating East Carolina and Villanova for its first postseason victories since 2008. The Colonials finished the season with a 23-11 overall mark, a nine-win improvement from the previous season and their most overall wins since the 2007-08 campaign . For his efforts, Coach Tsipis was awarded a contract extension through the 2020-21 season .

The Colonials also established themselves as one of the top offensive teams in not just the Atlantic 10 but in all of Division I in 2013-14, ranking second in the league and 35th in the nation, averaging 76 .1 points per game - a 17 .2 point-per-game improvement from the previous season . The squad scored 100 points in three different games - the first team in program history to reach the century mark multiple times in one season. Four Colonials earned Atlantic 10 postseason honors, headlined by freshman Caira Washington, who was named A-10 Rookie of the Year .

Coach Tsipis came to GW just three days after sitting on the sidelines in Denver as Notre Dame took on Baylor in its second straight NCAA title game . Tsipis spent nine seasons on the coaching staff at the University of Notre Dame, including his last four years as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator . In all, the Fighting Irish enjoyed a 228-77 ( .748) mark with Coach Tsipis on the sidelines . In his nine seasons at Notre Dame, Coach Tsipis helped Hall of Fame Coach Muffet McGraw reach the NCAA Tournament each season, including five Sweet Sixteen appearances, four of which came in his last five years in South Bend. As the coordinator of Notre Dame’s nationally ranked recruiting efforts, his work landed the Fighting Irish one of the nation’s top-20 recruiting classes in each of his nine years and a top-10 class three of his last four seasons, and Notre Dame’s Class of 2014 graduated as the most successful senior class in program history .

One of CollegeInsider.com’s Top 10 assistant coaches in the nation and a former recipient of BasketballScoop.com’s Assistant Coach of the Year Award, Tsipis has mentored four All-Americans, eight WNBA Draft picks, including five first-round selections, a BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year, three players who were invited to USA Basketball National Team trials and a First Team Academic All-American . Coach Tsipis’ student-athletes have excelled academically as well, as 100 percent of his players at Notre Dame who used their four years of eligibility graduated, ranking the Irish tops in the country in Graduation Success Rate .

Tsipis was responsible for building the game plan in nearly three dozen Notre Dame wins over nationally ranked opponents (six vs . UConn), including the Irish’s 2005 win over Connecticut that ended the Huskies’ 112-game home win streak in regular-season league games . He also designed the game plan in Notre Dame’s 2011 NCAA Final Four victory when the Fighting Irish became the first UConn opponent in more than seven years to shoot better than 50 percent from the floor.

Tsipis went to Notre Dame following one season as the director of men’s basketball operations at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, where he worked under Fran McCaffery, who now is the head coach at the University of Iowa . Prior to arriving at UNCG, Coach Tsipis spent two seasons as an assis- tant men’s coach at Elon University after one year as the top men’s assistant coach at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, N .Y . He also spent three seasons on the men’s basketball staff at Cornell University and one year on the men’s basketball staff at Duke, where he served as an undergraduate assistant under legendary Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski . All told, Tsipis has worked under three national championship coaches - Notre Dame’s McGraw, Duke’s Krzyzewski and Le Moyne’s Dave Paulsen, who is now the head coach at Bucknell University .

The North Carolina graduate hails from a family with strong roots in basketball, as his father, Lou, played for the Greek National Team and had a standout career at Baldwin-Wallace College before playing pro- fessionally in Greece . A member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Hellenic Sports Hall of Fame, Tsipis’ father also coached at the high school and collegiate levels for more than 20 years . Tsipis’ brother, Dean, played basketball at Case Western Reserve University, while his sister, LuAnn Damiris, was a three-sport letterwinner at Baldwin-Wallace, and his niece, Amanda Tsipis, played basketball at Notre Dame while her uncle was on the sidelines .

Born on Nov . 7, 1972, in Cleveland, Ohio, Tsipis and his wife, Leigh, are the proud parents of two chil- dren, Emily (11) and Joshua (8) . 20 Postseasons in 25 Years  4 NCAA Sweet Sixteens  1997 Elite Eight #1 Kelsi Mahoney #2 Camila Tapias #3 Caira Washington #4 Lauren Chase #5 Aaliyah Brown Fr. | F | 6-1 So. | G | 5-6 Jr. | F | 6-2 Gr. | G | 5-5 Sr. | G | 5-8 Concord, NC Bogotá, Colombia Brandywine, MD Bowie, MD League City, TX
