    Federation of International Basketball Association (FIBA) has named D’Tigress’ Rene Wakama the best coach of the Paris 2024 Olympics Women’s Basketball tournament.

    “Best coach of #Paris2024 Women’s Basketball, Rene Wakama, Nigeria,” a tweet on the X handle of the International Basketball Federation read on Sunday evening.

    Wakama, 32, guided the female basketball team to their first-ever quarterfinals of the Olympic games,after they defeated Canada 79-70.

    Sadly, the team’s journey at the Olympics was cut short when they lost to the United States, by 88-74 in the quarterfinals of the women’s basketball event.

    The team still made an impressive record of being the only African basketball team (men and women) to progress to the last 16 at the event.
