Coppin State’s Stephanie Ready to become Charlotte Hornets game analyst

BALTIMORE
FOX Sports Southeast has announced that Coppin State alum Stephanie Ready will make the move from the Charlotte Hornets sidelines to the broadcast booth with Eric Collins and Dell Curry, making her the network’s first full-time female NBA game analyst.
Ready has been a fixture with the Charlotte Hornets, entering her 12th season with the Hornets telecasts. She was previously the host of Hornets LIVE! and an in-game sideline reporter. “I’ve had a love affair with the game of basketball for as long as I can remember, both as a player and a coach,” Ready said. “I’m honored and excited to be able to share my passion for this sport with our audience.”
Ready has some experience being a pioneer. Prior to her broadcasting career, Ready was an assistant coach in the WNBA and the NBA D-League, making her the first woman to coach a men’s professional sports team. She also spent two seasons as an assistant coach for the Coppin State men’s basketball program under former head coach Ron “Fang” Mitchell. At the time, Ready was the first female to hold the position of full-time recruiting assistant on an NCAA Division I men’s basketball staff.
A native of Takoma Park, Maryland, Ready graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and at the end of her collegiate career was ranked in the top-10 on the career women’s basketball list at Coppin State in steals (second), assists (fourth), points (eighth) and rebounds (tenth).
