Entering her third season as an Oregon assistant, Selena Ho was introduced along with Phil Brown as assistant coaches for Bev Smith in June 2005.
Ho mainly works with the Oregon backcourt, and her influence was evident last season as Tamika Nurse successfully took over point guard duties and demanded respect, finishing third in the Pac-10 in attempts and makes at the free-throw line. Freshman guard Taylor Lilley led the conference in three-point percentage, shooting 50.6 percent from behind the arc.
Ho, a four-time All-Big West Conference selection at the University of the Pacific, spent three years as an assistant at UC Irvine before joining the Ducks. One of the best perimeter players in league history, Ho finished her career ranked first all-time in the Big West Conference and 24th among NCAA Division I players in three-pointers made with 271.
“Selena’s dynamic, energetic and personable character is a winning combination when it comes to recruiting,” said Smith. “Her experience both as a coach and a player at the Division I level has provided her with a solid foundation of basketball and an understanding of all facets of the game, which she brings to Oregon.”
Playing for Sherri Murrell, the current head coach at Portland State, Ho was named second-team all-Big West her first two seasons at Pacific, first team all-Big West her final two seasons and was also honored as the Big West Freshman of the Year in 1998-99. She averaged 14.6 points and 4.9 assists per game as a senior in 2001-02, leading the Tigers to the Big West tournament championship game. That season, she led the conference in free throw percentage (.792) and three-pointers made (2.61), ending her career first in the Big West from the free throw line (.823) and fifth in three-point field goal percentage (.406).
Ho holds the school record with six Big West Player of the Week honors. She finished her four-year career third on Pacific’s all-time scoring list with 1,651 points, third in assists (430) and ninth in steals (135).
A native of Belmont, Calif., Ho was also honored as the National Strength and Conditioning Association Athlete of the Year as well as a NCSA All-American in 2002. She graduated from Pacific in May of 2002 with a degree in business administration.
She was born Oct. 17, 1980, in San Francisco.
