Per GoBearcats:
University of Cincinnati women’s basketball head coach Michelle Clark-Heard announced the addition of Devrinn Paul as an assistant coach to the Bearcats’ program.
“I am so excited to add Devrinn to our Bearcat Family,” Coach Heard said. “I have known Devrinn for over 17 years. He is an amazing person who loves the game and really prides himself on skill development and growth of the whole student-athlete. His passion and his work ethic line up with our vision here at the University of Cincinnati and I look forward to him joining our staff.”
Paul spent three years at Marshall University from 2013-16 as an assistant coach and recruiting specialist before moving into consulting for the last six years.
Prior to Marshall, Paul was at the University of Louisville for three years as the video coordinator for the women’s basketball team. Prior to being named video coordinator, he was a graduate assistant for the Cardinal women’s basketball team for two years and graduated with his master’s (higher education in human resources) in 2010.
At Louisville, Paul was part of the first Cardinal women’s basketball program to make it to the NCAA Final Four (2009). During his time at Louisville, the Cards made four NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the national championship game twice. Louisville advanced to the NCAA final, losing to Connecticut. Along the way to the title game, the No. 5 seed Cards defeated the No. 1 seed Baylor, and in doing so were nominated for “Best Upset” at the 2013 ESPYs.
Paul’s duties as video coordinator included preparing scouting reports, producing highlight videos and game film, helping with recruiting videos and developing game plans alongside the coaching staff.
Prior to Louisville, Paul attended Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Ky., where he worked as the student manager for the men’s basketball team. He graduated with his bachelor’s in business marketing with a minor in journalism in 2008.
A Hempstead, N.Y., native, Paul moved to Louisville at age 11 and attended Waggener High School, where he played varsity basketball and football. He received a Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation scholarship award in 2003 for football, and was first team all-district in 2002 and 2003.
