Kerry Cremeans (krah-MEANS) enters her fourth season as head coach of the University of Denver women’s basketball program for the upcoming 2015-16 season. Cremeans has compiled a 31-63 record at DU, including a runner-up finish at the Summit League Championships in 2013-14.
In April of 2012, Cremeans became the ninth head coach in Denver women’s basketball history since the program’s inception in 1974. Cremeans spent eight seasons at Auburn, including her last two as the program’s associate head coach, helping the Tigers to a SEC Championship in 2009. Cremeans is widely regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country.
In her first season with the Pioneers, Cremeans helped Denver to a 14-17 record, including an 8-10 mark in WAC play. Denver recorded its first ever road-win over a BCS conference school when it defeated Oregon 73-62 on Dec. 2. The Pioneers followed that up with victories over Front Range rivals Northern Colorado, Air Force and Colorado State. Denver finished in the top 100 nationally in scoring offense, rebounding margin, assists per-game and assist-turnover ratio. The Pioneers opened the WAC Tournament with a 73-63 victory over Texas State, before being eliminated by Utah State in the tournament quarterfinals.
In Cremeans’ second season, the Pioneers went 9-23 and finished 5-9 in the Summit League regular season. The Pioneers finished the season with a deep tournament run in the Summit League Championship. In the quarterfinals the Pioneers beat
three seed Fort Wayne and in the semifinal game Denver upset two seed IUPUI in overtime. Cremeans led the Pioneers as they advanced to The Summit League Champion-ship Finals against South Dakota. Denver would eventually finish as tournament runners-up, falling just one win shy of receiving a NCAA Tournament berth. Denver finished the 2013-14 season ranked in the top 100 nationally in field goal percentage, free throw percentage and three-point field goal percentage. The Pioneer women’s basketball program also finished the 2014 academic year ranked no. 14 nationally on the WBCA Top 25 Team Honor Roll, after compiling an overall team GPA of 3.498.
In the Pioneers third season under Cremeans’ leadership, Denver finished with a 8-23 record. On Dec. 8, 2014, in a game against Air Force, the Pioneers broke the school record netting 19 3-pointers. DU’s 19 3-point baskets ties them for fourth all-time in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history for made 3-pointers in a single game. Also in that game, senior guard Morgan Van Riper-Rose nailed 10 3-pointers, which is the most in program history in a single game and ties her for third most all-time in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history.
Cremeans arrived at Denver in 2012 with more than 18 years of coaching experience. A 1994 graduate of Florida and four-year basketball letter winner, Cremeans served on the coaching staff of her alma mater in 2003-04 after spending seven years as the top recruiter at Purdue under legendary head coach Nell Fortner.
During her time at Purdue, Cremeans helped the Boilermakers to an impressive 181-49 record and seven consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. During the 1999 season, Cremeans played an instrumental role in leading Purdue to an unprecedented 34-1 record and an NCAA title. In seven seasons at Purdue, Cremeans helped lead the Boiler-makers to four Big Ten Tournament titles (1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003) and three regular season conference titles (1999, 2001 and 2002).
During her time at Florida, Cremeans aided in the resurgence of the then-struggling Gator program, leading them to a 19-11 overall record in 2003-04, a 10-win improvement over the previous season.
Cremeans started her coaching career in 1994 as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Kentucky. From 1994-96, Cremeans coordinated travel, served as the liaison to the Center for Academic Development, scouted opponents and served as the film exchange coordinator for the Wildcats.
Cremeans earned her degree in exercise science from Florida in 1994 and her master’s in sport management from Kentucky in 2004. A GTE Academic All-American, she helped lead the Gators to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, the first two in the school’s history. She concluded her career at Florida as the all-time leader in three-pointers made.
