Contents

Hodges started her coaching career in 2019 as a special advisor at LSU. She then worked as an assistant coach in the college ranks for the Old Dominion Monarchs and Colgate Raiders, before becoming an assistant coach in the WNBA with the New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun.

Personal life

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, she is the twin sister of former WNBA player Doneeka Hodges.

Professional career

A 5'11" guard, Hodges played for three seasons with the Houston Comets, who selected her in the second round, 15th overall, in the 2005 WNBA draft. [1] On February 6, 2008, Hodges was selected by the Atlanta Dream in the expansion draft. She was then traded to the Seattle Storm with the fourth pick for Seattle's eighth pick and Iziane Castro Marques. [2] She was then waived by the Storm and signed once again with the Comets. [3] Through three seasons with the Comets, Hodges scored 382 points, collected 112 rebounds, 66 assists, 32 steals, and 4 blocks. In 2006, she scored a career high 247 points, with her career high of 21 coming against the Washington Mystics.

After the Comets folded in the fall of 2008, the Minnesota Lynx selected Hodges as the fourth pick in the dispersal draft for the former Comets players. [4] [5]

Coaching career

During the 2019–2020 college basketball season, Hodges worked as a special advisor to her alma mater LSU. The following academic year, she joined the coaching staff at Old Dominion University. [6] In September 2021, she was named an assistant coach to the Colgate University women's basketball team. [7]

In 2022, she joined the new coaching staff of the New York Liberty under Sandy Brondello. [8]

In 2025, she joined the new coaching staff of the Connecticut Sun under Rachid Meziane, [9] with a more expanded role than she had with the Liberty. [10]
