Lady Cubs Name Ladell Hill Jr. Women’s Basketball Coach

LOS ANGELES (April 8, 2008) - - Ladell Hill Jr. has accepted the position of Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Los Angeles City College. He most recently served as Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Los Angeles Harbor College. Hill Jr. replaces former coach Wendell Westbrook who led the Lady Cubs last season.

Hill Jr. has been head coach at LA Harbor for the past two years. He had previously served as LA Harbor’s assistant men’s basketball coach for five years.

“Ladell has the experience in the South Coast Conference and Los Angeles to offer the Lady Cubs a quality recruiter and coach,” said LA City Athletic Director Mike Miller. “He also has a history of commitment to his student-athletes. We welcome him with open arms and look forward to watching him build a winning tradition for the Lady Cubs.”

Hill Jr. comes to LA City with an impressive high school background. Among his previous coaching appointments are two years each as an assistant at Bishop Montgomery HS (Torrance) and John Muir High School (Pasadena). He also has two years of AAU experience as head coach of the Los Angeles Hilltoppers. Hill Jr. first entered the coaching ranks as a Student Assistant Coach at the University of Southern California in 1993.

“I’m excited to be at LA City and have this opportunity to revive the program,” said Hill Jr. “That is my mission. I feel this program has the potential to reach higher levels than before, and having Coach Miller as a resource was a consideration in my accepting the job. One of the models I will use is that of the men’s program led by Coach Miller.”

Hill Jr. is a graduate of Occidental College with a B.A. in history. He currently resides in Ontario.
