Former Scarlet Knight point guard Tasha Pointer enters her second season as an assistant coach at Rutgers.

The Chicago, Ill. native began her coaching career at Columbia University (2004-06), coordinating all of the Lions' recruiting efforts and developing the perimeter players for two seasons.

Prior to arriving back ‘On the Banks’, Pointer spent a year on staff at Xavier University helping lead the Musketeers to the 2007 NCAA Tournament. XU finished the season with a 26-9 record, tying for the second-most wins in school history, and also winning its third Atlantic 10 title.

Pointer also has worked Organization Affiliate for Athletes in Action. During her tenure with AIA, Pointer traveled to Nigeria to play in exhibition games against top collegiate basketball programs, as well as serving as a motivational speaker.

Pointer led the Scarlet Knights to their first-ever Final Four appearance as a junior captain in 2000. She earned a number of accolades during her time in Piscataway, including the 1998 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year award and league first team honors twice.

In 2001, Pointer was also tabbed an Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention. Pointer was also named to two NCAA all-tournament teams, selected to the 1999 Midwest Region and the 2000 West Region squads.

In 2003, Pointer was named to the BIG EAST 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame Team.

She holds the Rutgers' all-time assists and steals records with 839 assists and 292 steals, respectively. In addition, Pointer scored 1,456 points in her decorated career. The talented point guard recorded the first triple-double in Rutgers basketball history -men's and women's- on Jan. 10, 2001. Pointer registered four triple-doubles in her illustrious playing career, the most in BIG EAST history.

Pointer’s accolades are not limited to awards. She holds ‘bragging rights’ over former NBA great MIchael Jordan. Pointer beat “His Airness” in a game of one-on-one in 1998.

Pointer earned her bachelor's degree in journalism and mass media from RU and graduated with her master's degree in education administration and supervision in 2003, also from Rutgers.
Pointer was married to Kwabena Yamoah in May 2008.
