Amy Wright
- Title:
- Associate Head Coach and Recruiting Coordinator
In her 21st year on the sideline, Amy Wright enters her second season at Oklahoma in 2022-23 as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.
In her 20-year coaching career, Wright has been a part of 16 postseason teams, 12 of which were NCAA Tournament teams, and has won four conference championships. Her teams have won 392 games, an average of 19.6 wins annually.
Wright arrived in Norman after a nine-year tenure at Texas A&M. In her time at A&M, she helped the Aggies win the 2013 SEC Tournament Championship, make eight NCAA Tournaments, reach the Sweet 16 four times and play in the 2014 NCAA Elite Eight. In addition, she helped the Aggies to three second-place finishes in the SEC. As recruiting coordinator, she helped haul in a class ranked No. 8 by espnW Hoop Gurlz in 2017.
She has coached 18 first-team all-conference selections, including Kelsey Bone (2012-13), Courtney Walker (2013-16), N'dea Jones (2019-20), Chennedy Carter (2017-20), Madi Williams (2022) and Taylor Robertson (2022).
Wright has seen success at every stop of her coaching career, making postseason appearances at every school she's coached at, including Oklahoma.
Wright revamped Arizona State's entire recruiting system to help sign one of its highest-ranked recruiting classes in just one season. Specializing in out-of-bounds plays, on-court work with guards and opponent scouting reports, Wright was instrumental in the Sun Devils' 20-win season and a Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) berth in 2011-12.
While at Cleveland State from 2008-11, Wright helped guide the program to 59 wins, a conference championship and a pair of postseason berths. She helped Western Kentucky amass 49 wins in two seasons. At USF, the Bulls went 14-15 in year one, followed by three seasons of 19-plus wins.
As a player, Wright started four seasons under Gary Blair at Arkansas from 1999-2002. She is the only point guard in school history to lead the Lady Razorbacks to four straight postseason appearances, including the 1999 WNIT Championship and a berth in the WNIT semifinals in 2000.
Wright is Arkansas' all-time leader in assists (717), and she set the school record for assists in a season as a senior (205). An SEC Academic Honor Roll selection as a sophomore (1999-00), Wright never missed a game, playing in a school-record 131 consecutive contests.
Following her collegiate career, Wright participated in the WNBA Pre-Draft Camp and was drafted by the Detroit Shock in 2002.
A native of Williamsburg, Ind., and 1998 graduate of Northeastern High School, Wright earned a bachelor's degree in marketing and management from Arkansas in 2002. She completed her master's degree in sports and administration from Ohio University in December 2012.
