Jama Sharp
Director
A former Stetson University three-time captain, Female Athlete of the Year, and 2022 Assistant Coach of the Year, Jama Sharp was announced as the 11th head coach in Greyhound program history in May 2024.
Sharp returns to her home state for the first time since 2011 when she graduated as Mooresville High School’s all-time leading scorer and was named an Indiana All-Star before attending college at Stetson.
During her coaching tenure at Stetson, Sharp progressed from coordinating and organizing practices, creating recruiting graphics and materials, running the team’s social media accounts, and specifically working on-court with guards, to later leading the offense, and, most recently serving as Stetson’s defensive coordinator.
As a point guard and member of the Hatters from 2011-15, Sharp scored more than 1,200 career points and played in all 133 games while twice earning A-SUN All-Conference honors and graduating cum laude.
Prior to joining the Stetson bench, Sharp made stops at three academically-selective Power Five programs within the SEC, Big 12, and ACC. Initially beginning as part of the scouting and video coordination teams at the University of Florida, the University of Texas, and the University of Virginia, Sharp advanced to become an assistant coach at Virginia for one season.
Sharp recently earned her Master of Business Administration from Stetson, two years removed from being inducted into the university’s athletics hall of fame. She was also inducted into the Mooresville High School Hall of Fame in 2022.
