Long Beach State head women’s basketball coach Jody Wynn has announced the addition of Paul Reed to the LBSU coaching staff. Reed replaces former assistant coach Jeff Cammon, who accepted a position at Cal.

"We are excited to welcome Paul to our Beach family," Wynn said. "He is of high character and is a very driven person who brings passion, energy, and a great deal of basketball leadership to our program. Paul will serve as a great mentor to our players and his experience and knowledge of the game will help bring our program to the championship level."

Reed comes to The Beach from Cienega High School in Vail, Ariz., where he served as the head girls’ varsity basketball coach for the last two years. During that time, he compiled a 45-13 overall record and led the Bobcats to a pair of appearances in the state tournament. In 2014, Reed was named the Southern Arizona Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career after guiding Cienega to a regional championship and a runner-up finish at the Arizona Girls’ State Basketball Division II Playoffs. They lost only two games all season, concluding the campaign at 26-2.

Prior to his stint at Cienega High School, Reed was the head coach of the girls’ varsity team at Tucson High School (2005-11). In his six years at the helm, Reed led the Badgers to four state tournaments and three regional titles. Reed was named the Southern Arizona Coach of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and finished with a 129-63 overall record. In addition, Reed spent three years as a head coach for the Tucson Heat Basketball Club. He mentored two McDonald’s All-America nominees.

Reed was the director and founder of the Lady Badger Basketball Camp and also worked the USC Elite Camp. In addition, he worked with the offseason player development of high school athletes in the Tucson area as well as members of the University of Arizona basketball team. Reed is a member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.
