Assistant Coach Richard Henderson
February 27, 2009 | Cowgirl Basketball
The newest member of the Cowgirl staff and a rising star in the coaching profession is first-year assistant coach Richie Henderson.
Among Henderson's coaching duties will be recruiting, film editing and breakdown as well as working with the Cowgirl guards on the floor.
Henderson joined the Cowgirl program for the 2007-08 season as its graduate assistant where he oversaw film exchange and assisted with the creation and distribution of recruiting correspondence. In addition, he coordinated the OSU Ballgirl program, helped with team travel as well as with the daily administrative duties in the basketball office.
“The main thing with Richie is he is an Oklahoma State graduate and was born and raised in Oklahoma,” Cowgirl head coach Kurt Budke said. “Everyone in our community that knows him has great respect for him and realizes how bright he is.”
“One of the keys to our success has been a strong chemistry between our staff and players and I expect Richie to step in and make an easy transition.”
Prior to his move to the college level, the Hartshorne, Okla. native worked as the Stillwater Public Schools junior high basketball coordinator while teaching physical education. Henderson also served as the head basketball coach for the freshman squad and as an assistant coach for the varsity squad as well.
From 2004-2006, Henderson served as the head coach for the SHS sophomore squad and served as the coordinator for the Pioneer Basketball Camp for two seasons.
Henderson worked for the NFL's Buffalo Bills as an athletic training intern in 2005 and has also worked as a camp coach for the Oklahoma State men's basketball camps.
Henderson graduated from Oklahoma State in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in education. Prior to his arrival in Stillwater, he earned his associate of science degree from Eastern Oklahoma State College in 2003.
Henderson and his wife, Kristin, reside in Stillwater.
