Lindsay Edmonds (née Smith) is an American college basketball coach who is currently the head coach of the Rice University women's basketball team. She previously served as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University, James Madison University, and North Carolina State University.

Career

Edmonds was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She attended college at Appalachian State, where she played on the basketball team for four years, serving as co-captain for two. She began her coaching career in 2005 by coaching high school basketball, and in 2007 she took an assistant coaching position at her alma mater. In 2009, she became an assistant coach for the James Madison Dukes women's basketball team; during her four years at James Madison, the team made the NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament twice and the Women's National Invitation Tournament twice. North Carolina State hired Edmonds as an assistant coach in 2013; she was promoted to recruiting coordinator in 2018 and associate head coach in 2019. During her time at NC State, the school reached the NCAA tournament five times and the Sweet Sixteen three times.[1][2]

Rice hired Edmonds in 2021 to coach their women's basketball team. Her overall record at Rice is 37–22 over two seasons. She led Rice to an appearance in the 2023 Women's National Invitation Tournament in the 2022–23 season.[3]

Personal life

Edmonds has a husband, Ulrick Edmonds, and three daughters. During NC State's appearance in the 2021 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, NCAA restrictions on team travel parties during the COVID-19 pandemic required her to travel without two of her daughters. She documented her experience to USA Today, which criticized the NCAA's treatment of her and other mothers coaching in the tournament.[4]
