ARLINGTON, TX – The UT Arlington women's basketball program announced the addition of former Lady Mav standout Avery Brittingham to the coaching staff as a program specialist.
Brittingham's role will include providing administrative, operational, recruiting, video/scouting and community engagement support for the UTA women's basketball program.
A Fort Worth, Texas native, Brittingham originally came to UTA her senior season in 2023-24 after transferring from Stephen F. Austin. She was a student-athlete with the Lady Mavs from 2023-2025, completing her collegiate career as a fifth-year senior.
"We're excited to welcome Avery back to College Park Center," said Coach Wright, "One of the most exciting and passionate players to ever wear a Lady Mav jersey, Avery is back on the sideline—mentoring our players, sharing her experience and helping us continue to grow our program."
In her career at UTA, Brittingham established herself as one of the most successful players in Lady Mavs history.
After her first year with the Lady Mavs, Brittingham posted career bests in points (13.1), rebounds (8.4), assists (3.9) and blocks (1.3) per game. She eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau and helped propel the Lady Mavs to their best-ever finish in the WAC, posting an 11-9 conference record and advancing to the WAC Tournament semifinals.
