Fresh off leading the Redhawks girls’ basketball team to Frisco ISD’s first state championship in basketball, head coach Ross Reedy is adding a new title to his resume: assistant athletics coordinator.

“Quite simply, my goal in this position isn’t any different than what it was in my previous position,” Reedy said via email. “I still want to be the best contributor I can be to our community, colleagues, and students. How that takes shape may change a little bit in this role, so right now I am simply trying to get to know, learn from, and help provide support to our staff as we collectively tackle the challenges we have in front of us.”

Girls’ basketball player Zoe Junior, thinks all of his hard work, led him to get this position.

“I am really excited for coach Reedy, he is an amazing and dedicated coach,” Junior said. “He worked hard and truly deserves the position.” 

Reedy doesn’t see his new position as a way to benefit his program, instead, he sees it as a way for him to grow. 

“Some characteristics are always necessary: consistency,  care (compassion), and capability,” Reedy said. “However, needs are different based on the person, program, and organization. The biggest benefit I get from it is the opportunity I still have to learn on a daily basis from the various players and coaches that still grace our program. Furthermore, I benefit from continuing to have a similar lens to the coaches I aim to support.”

Responsible for overseeing the girls’ athletic program on campus, his players think his success as a coach is more important than his gender when it comes to filling the position. 

“I don’t think it matters, junior Jazzy Owens said. “He’s coached so many girls in his career and he’s been very successful.”
