The Wallace State women’s basketball program is guided by head coach Larry Slater, who has built the team into a perennial conference contender.

Slater recently completed his 21st year with the Wallace State program as the Lady Lions finished 14-11 and advanced to the Alabama Community College Conference tournament quarterfinals.

Slater has a 458-154 career record and five ACCC championships under his belt with the women's program.

For their work during the 2009-10 season, Bailee Robinson was named to the ACCC All-North First Team, while Julia Tupper was a second-team selection. Robinson was also named to the Region XXII Second Team.

Wallace State has reached the national tournament on multiple occassions under Slater, finishing sixth in the country in 1998.

Slater has sent more than 80 players to NCAA schools and has coached many All-Americans and Academic All-Americans.

Slater, who lives in Lacey's Spring in Morgan County, coached at Alabama high schools for 12 years prior to his Wallace State tenure. He won a Class 5A state championship with Pell City High School in 1988.
