Janice Johnson Luck ’96 Appointed Head Women’s Basketball Coach

A four-time letter winner for the Lady Lions basketball team, Janice Johnson Luck ’96 says she is excited to be back on the court as head coach. Focused on a winning season, Luck says there are three areas of commitment she will stress to her players. “A commitment to the team, a commitment to academics, and a commitment to winning.”

Being an alumna of Albright gives her a “step up,” she says. “I’m already committed to my alma mater. I have a passion for Albright and am going to put 100 percent into every practice, every game…”

Upon graduation in 1996, Luck served two years as an assistant coach at Albright before moving on to West Chester University, where she spent one season as an assistant coach while pursuing her master’s degree in sport and athletic administration. Luck returned to Albright in the fall of 1999 to work in the Admission Office, and returned to the bench as an assistant coach for the 2001-2002 season. She also served as Albright’s director of special gifts from 2000-2002.

In addition to her duties as head women’s coach, Luck will serve as the recruiting coordinator for the Albright Athletics Department.
