“I am extremely grateful to the Presentation College Community for the opportunity to progress my career as a head women’s basketball coach and to build a successful women’s basketball program,” stated Bullock. “Presentation College is an outstanding educational institution and provides the opportunity for academic success to all its students. As a coach, I want to develop a program that has a hard-nosed up-tempo mentality that takes pride in playing defense and doing things the right way. My goal is to take a select group of student-athletes who want to better their character, unite as one, and build a positive and successful basketball culture.”
