Pratt, Kan. – Pratt Community College is excited to announce the hiring of Carrie McDonald as the next assistant women’s basketball coach. Coach Mac started working on campus this week. Just in time for the start of the 2022-23 season this coming Tuesday, November 1st against Otero College.
“We are glad to have Coach Mac at Pratt to assist with our women’s basketball program,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach Eric Rodewald.
Coach Mac comes to Beaver Nation from Indianapolis, IN where she had been serving as a substitute teacher and founder of Our Room to Bloom. A coaching, support, spirituality, arts and entertainment organization. The organization's goal is to assist those who are actively healing through transparency and truth.
“I stepped away a bit from coaching and the sidelines to focus on teaching,” said Coach Mac. “Sometimes we have ideas for our lives, but God has other plans.”
Prior to her time teaching, Coach Mac had made coaching stops at both Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis and Southeastern Community College in Keokuk, IA. She has also served as the sports director at YMCA and as the Athletic Sirector of Christel House Academy both in Indianapolis.
“Coach McDonald has been out of collegiate coaching for a few years but wanted an opportunity to get back in. She played collegiately and has coached at several colleges,” said Athletic Director Tim Swartzentruber. “She is experienced and has other talents that will make her a great addition to our athletic staff.”
