THE COACHING STAFF KATHY OLIVIER HEAD COACH • 14TH SEASON (21ST OVERALL AT UCLA) • UNLV (‘82)

Since being named head coach of the Bruins on May 3, 1993, Kathy Olivier has energized the UCLA 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, a Pac-10 team championship and a Pac-10 Tournament Championship. 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 2006. Interest in UCLA women’s has taken off to new levels under Olivier. The only 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. In her 13 seasons as UCLA head coach, Olivier has posted a 202-175 overall mark, which includes six top-four Pac-10 fi nishes in the last nine seasons. Her teams may favor a running game on off ense, but defense is another Olivier strong point. Six of the all-time school top 10 marks for lowest opponent fi eld percentages belong to Olivier-coached squads. Olivier's 2006 squad fi nished the season strong, placing third in the Pac-10 regular standings and then winning the Conference Tournament for the fi rst time with wins on consecutive CAREER HIGHLIGHTS days over California, Arizona State and Stanford. The Arizona State victory gave Olivier her 200th career win. The Bruins advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and •Coached UCLA to NCAA Tournament ap- fi nished with a 21-11 record.

Quinn earned honorable mention all-conference honors, and was named to the all-conference freshman team. The team set a school record for shooting percentage (.717) and allowed opponents the fourth-lowest shooting percentage in school history (.400). In 2004, Olivier's Bruins earned a NCAA Tournament berth and fi nished with a 17-13 overall record and a third-place Pac-10 fi nish. The team boasted the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Quinn, and a pair of All-Conference performers in Quinn and Blue. A third player, Willis, earned honorable mention all-conference accolades after leading the league in steals and made three-point shots. The Bruin team surrendered just 63.8 points per game, the third-lowest opponent scoring mark ever. The team also played its fi nal home game of the season, a win over USC, before 8,094 fans, the third-largest crowd in school history. Olivier led the 2003 Bruins to 12 conference victories, a total surpassed by only two other seasons in UCLA history. 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. Olivier's 2000 squad earned a NCAA Tournament berth for the third straight year and 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

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. Olivier created such a positive energy around her team that an all-time school record crowd of 9,530 was on hand to witness a 94-53 home win over USC. In 1998, she directed a Bruin team which featured two Pac-10 Freshmen of the Year to the school’s best-ever conference fi nish at the time (second, 14-4) and the best winning percentage (20-9, .690) in 17 seasons.
