Jenerrie Harris was added to the Army West Point women's basketball staff in May of 2021. She brings over 15 years of coaching experience to West Point.
“Jenerrie has won at this level and at the academies,” Army head coach Missy Traversi said upon her hiring. “Her Division I national recruiting experience coupled with her high energy and passion for people makes her a perfect fit for our staff. As a former Division I player and former Division I head coach, she will bring tremendous perspective to our players and our staff.”
Harris served as the head coach at UMass Lowell from 2014-18. Harris mentored three members who received All-America East honors: Shannon Samuels (second team, 2014-15), Lindsey Doucette (third team, 2015-16) and Kayla Gibbs (third team, 2016-17). Additionally, Doucette was named to the conference’s all-defensive team in 2014-15 and Paula Lopez was tabbed to the all-rookie team in 2017-18.
Prior to her time at UMass Lowell, Harris served on Navy’s coaching staff for five seasons. She was elevated to the role of associate head coach during the 2013-14 season after serving as an assistant for the previous four. She helped guide the Mids to winning seasons all five seasons that she was on the staff and to three NCAA Tournament berths.
Her previous positions include being an assistant coach at Wright State from 2006 to 2009 and Longwood from 2005 to 2006. At Wright State she helped recruit former Washington Mystics guard Shey Peddy.
“After spending 12 years growing up as an Army brat, it's a little surreal knowing that I have the great fortune to work with the future leaders of our country at the United States Military Academy,” Harris said. “One thing that the Academy and athletics have in common is the process to embrace the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself. The history of the program is rich and well-respected, and I am honored to be a part of the journey ahead. Needless to say, I am excited to join Coach Traversi, this staff and these young leaders in this new era of Army Women's Basketball.”
A native Muskegon, Mich., Harris was a four-year member of the women’s basketball team at the University of Kentucky from 2000-04. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2004.
She arrives in Highland Falls, N.Y., from Columbus, Ohio, with her two children Jayce (12) and Reign (9).
