ATLANTA, GA. – The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced their annual Thirty Under 30 honorees on Tuesday afternoon. FDU women's basketball assistant coach
Ty Rozier was selected as an honoree for the second year in a row.
Rozier earns the honor following a record-setting campaign for FDU in 2025-26. The Knights finished with a 30-5 record, setting a new program record for wins in a single season, and tying the NEC single-season wins record. The Knights completed back-to-back undefeated NEC campaigns, becoming the first NEC team to ever do so, en route to repeating as conference champions. Rozier helped coach a Knights team that finished the season with a top-three defense in the country. The Knights earned four All-NEC honors during the 2025-26 season, including the 2025-26 NEC Defensive Player of the Year. FDU culminated the season with their second-straight trip to March Madness, earning a #15 seed for the second straight season. The Knights fought hard against #2 Iowa, falling to the Hawkeyes by a score of 58-48 in the Round of 64.
The WBCA Thirty Under 30 program was created to recognize 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches aged 30 and under at all levels of the game. Each honoree has exemplified their involvement in community service, mentorship and impact on others, professional manner, and attitude and professional association involvement. "Congratulations to these coaches who have distinguished themselves so early in their careers," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "The WBCA is pleased to recognize this up-and-coming talent in our coaching family. We celebrate their effort on the basketball court as teachers and equally applaud the extensive role they play in impacting the lives of their student-athletes."
