Louisville Women's Basketball revealed this week that Roman Tubner will serve as an assistant coach, while Gina Cerezuela has been named director of player development. The moves come as the program seeks to deepen its talent pipeline and maintain momentum in a competitive landscape.
Tubner arrives after two seasons as an assistant at Tennessee, where the Volunteers advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 during the 2024‑25 campaign. Prior to that, he contributed to Alabama's staff, which oversaw three consecutive 20‑win seasons, underscoring his ability to work within winning environments.
A Proven Track Record in Player Development
Cerezuela brings a strong recruiting pedigree from her three‑year stint at South Florida. There, she helped secure 16 All‑AAC selections, including standout performances by Mama Dembele, L'or Mputu and Carla Brito, who earned conference honors such as Defensive Player of the Year and Tournament MVP.
Her final season at South Florida saw three players earn All‑AAC recognition, highlighting her knack for identifying and nurturing talent that can compete at the highest levels of collegiate basketball.
Both hires are positioned to reinforce the vision of head coach Jeff Walz, who has emphasized the importance of experienced coaching staff in sustaining the program’s growth. Their combined backgrounds in the SEC and AAC are expected to bolster recruitment efforts and on‑court development.
