Raman was previously the head coach of the women’s basketball team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for 12 seasons. She led the Engineers to a pair of NCAA Tournament berths and a 91-45 (.669) record over the course of her final five seasons.
“We are beyond excited to welcome Sonia to the Memphis Grizzlies,” head coach Taylor Jenkins said in a release from the team. “She has a high basketball IQ and a tremendous ability to teach the game, as well as a strong passion for the game. She is going to be a great addition to our current coaching staff.”
Raman was a four-year player at Tufts University, where she graduated in 1996. She went on to earn her law degree from Boston College in 2001 before embarking on a career in coaching.
