CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Boston College women's basketball head coach Kate Popovec-Goss has added Carrie Banks to her staff as associate head coach, bringing in a veteran with experience across multiple programs.
"I am incredibly grateful to join the Boston College women's basketball staff and be reunited with Kate, someone I've known for over a decade, and had the opportunity to work with previously," said Banks. "I have always had a great respect for her leadership, vision, and ability to connect with people. Boston College is a tremendous opportunity to compete at the highest level while offering student-athletes one of the best degrees in the country. I am thrilled that I get to be a part of such a rich tradition. Go Eagles!"
Banks arrives at the Heights after leading the Omaha Mavericks women's basketball for five seasons from 2020–25.  During her tenure, she guided the program to a pair of Summit League championship game appearances, earned the program's first top-25 win and coached and recruited multiple All-Summit League performers.
Â
Before her time at Omaha, Banks spent four years with Ohio State (2016–20), working primarily with post players. During her tenure, the Buckeyes secured a top-five recruiting class in 2019 and totaled 91 wins. The stretch included consecutive Big Ten regular-season titles in 2017 and 2018, along with a conference tournament championship in 2018.
Â
Banks also spent time at Northwestern Wildcats women's basketball from 2010–13, contributing to one NCAA Tournament appearance and two trips to the WNIT.
Â
Banks began her collegiate coaching career at her alma mater, the University of Detroit Mercy, from 2008–10 before joining South Florida Bulls women's basketball as an assistant coach in 2010.
Â
A graduate of Detroit Mercy, Banks earned her degree in communications in 2000. She was a four-year letterwinner with the Titans before continuing her playing career professionally in Portugal.
Â
Following her playing days, Banks coached girls AAU basketball in Ohio and served as the junior varsity head coach at Dublin Jerome High School from 2004–06. She later worked as a freelance reporter and analyst for the Big Ten Network while completing her master's degree in journalism at Kent State.
