Nike Lady Rebels Basketball Girls Camp at UNLV

Callaway moved over to the women's basketball program after first coming back to Las Vegas and UNLV in May of 2019 to work as an admission counselor in the UNLV Office of Admissions. Prior to her return, she was on the staff for the Cal women's basketball team as Assistant Director of Operations, starting in December of 2017 until she left for UNLV. In that role, she helped coordinate community service and outreach programs, planned pre and post game events for the team and fans, while also assisting in recruiting efforts.

The only player in UNLV history to both play in and start a game while still 17, Callaway had an impressive four-year career for the Lady Rebels from 2012-16. She was also an excellent student, earning Academic All-Mountain West honors all four years as well as MW Scholar-Athlete recognition in June 2013. She received her bachelor's degree in hospitality management from UNLV in May of 2016, and her MBA with a focus in sport management from San Diego State in June of 2018.

The Lady Rebels’ meteoric rise is staggering. In 2021-22, UNLV reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 20 seasons after sweeping the Mountain West regular-season and tournament championships, a first for the program. Its 26 wins were its most in more than three decades.

La Rocque delivered an instant impact in her first season as a collegiate head coach. La Rocque became UNLV’s first Mountain West Coach of the Year after leading Division I women’s basketball sixth-youngest squad to a second-place finish in the conference, despite being picked ninth in the preseason poll.

UNLV’s 13 conference victories in the COVID-19 restructured 2020-21 season were the most of any school in the Mountain West. La Rocque became the first UNLV coach to lead a team to an undefeated conference road record (9-0), leading to the nation’s fifth-longest road winning streak. The Lady Rebels were the only Mountain West team to beat every conference opponent at least once.

All that with a roster that lost more offensive production from its previous year than any other team in the nation save one.

The second-youngest coach in Division I women's basketball, La Rocque's 15 wins in 2020-21 (15-9 overall record) ranked second for wins among first-year Division I head coaches.

A key part of NCAA Tournament appearances in 10 out of 11 years, La Rocque returned to her native Las Vegas, where she prepped at Durango High School before playing in four straight Final Fours as a student-athlete at Stanford University. She was an assistant coach with the Cardinal for the previous three years under legendary head coach and Hall of Famer Tara VanDerveer.

On the coaching staff at Stanford since 2017, the program consistently ranked among the top 10 in the country. The Cardinal made NCAA Tournament appearances in each season, including two Sweet 16s, an Elite Eight and won the Pac-12 Conference Tournament Championship in 2019. From 2017-20, Stanford had an overall record of 82-22 and was 43-10 in conference play.

Coach La Rocque earned a bachelor's degree in science, technology, and society, with an emphasis in earth systems, civil and environmental engineering, and calculus from Stanford in 2012. She holds a master's degree in adult and higher education from Oklahoma, which she earned in 2015.
