Isoken Uzamere (pronounced E-suh-ken ooh-ZAH-mer-ay) was named an assistant coach for Georgia women's basketball on April 12, 2022.
Uzamere works with the post players and assists with recruiting and scouting.
In her first season at Georgia, Uzamere helped lead the team to its most wins in five years, with 22 victories and a NCAA tournament appearance. She works primarily with Georgia's post players, helping Javyn Nicholson double her points per game and increase her rebounds by three per contest. She also played a crucial role in developing Brittney Smith into one of the top post players in the SEC.
During the 2024-25 season, Coach EAS helped develop freshman forward Mia Woolfolk into one of the best young players in the league, helping Woolfolk land on the SEC All-Freshman Team.
“Coach “EAS” has all the values you look for when it comes to knowledge of the game, skill development and recruiting," Coach "ABE" said. "The way she connects with players, recruits and their parents make her one of the best in the business. She has developed first-team All Conference and Player of the Year talent. I have no doubt she will continue to do that with our current post players here at Georgia. As I’ve said many times, the number one reason I coach is to empower young women. Coach “EAS” embodies just that -- she is a tremendous person who will be an outstanding example for our team.”
Uzamere spent four seasons at Albany from 2012-16, before joining the Knights prior to the 2016-17 campaign. This past year at UCF, she helped Brittney Smith develop into one of the top forwards in the league as she earned AAC Sixth Player of the Year honors as a two-time All-Conference selection. Forward Masseny Kaba also garnered All-AAC accolades.
Under her guidance, Nyala Shuler finished her career ranked fourth in school history with 837 rebounds and finished in UCF’s career top-10 in blocks.
Uzamere was part of a staff that led UCF to five postseason appearances, three NCAA bids and the 2022 American Athletic Conference regular season and conference titles. The Knights earned their first NCAA tournament appearance, first NCAA win and highest-ever seeding.
At Albany, Uzamere was a graduate assistant from 2012-14 and served as an assistant coach from 2014-16. During her time there, the team won four America East titles with four NCAA Tournament berths, which included the team’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win in 2016 against No. 5 seed Florida.
In addition to her on-court coaching duties, she had many roles during her time at Albany. She worked with the post players, oversaw managers and student assistants, was the strength and conditioning and nutrition liaison and assisted with scouting.
In 2016, her post players accumulated numerous accolades. She helped guide forward Shereesha Richards to recognition as a two-time Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American. Richards picked up her third-straight America East Player of the Year award in 2016 and was also named to the America East All-Conference First Team and All-Defensive Team. Forward/Center Tiana-Jo Carter was the conference’s selection for Sixth Player of the Year.
Uzamere played forward for Hofstra and was a two-time Colonial Athletic Association All-Academic player in her junior and senior seasons. She served as the head coach of the Long Island Knights AAU Program in 2012 and was a counselor and coach at Game 7 Sports.
