Nigeria’s D’Tigress’ handler Rena Wakama has been declared “Best Female Basketball Coach” at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Wakama is also the first Nigerian National Female Basketball Team coach to win the women’s Afrobasket title since it began in 1966.
“Best coach of #Paris2024 Women’s Basketball, Rene Wakama, Nigeria,” a tweet on the X handle of the International Basketball Federation read on Sunday evening.
She took the Nigerian female team to the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time in its history.
That feat made them the first-ever African team (men or women) to play at that stage of the event.
However, D’Tigress bowed out of the women’s basketball event losing 74-88 to the US.
