Ganiyat Adeduntan - "Coach G"

No stranger to the Nation's Capital and the Atlantic 10 Conference, Ganiyat Adeduntan was named women's basketball head coach for the George Washington Revolutionaries in March of 2025. 

After a four-year stint as Head Coach at Colgate, including school-records in overall and conference wins this season, and back-to-back 20-win seasons and WNIT appearance in 2023-24 and 2024-25, the Athens, Georgia native returns to the Smith Center sidelines where she was GW's top assistant coach for three seasons and spent four years overall from 2017-2021, punctuated by an A-10 Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2018. 

"Coach Adeduntan is the right leader to return GW women's basketball to the top of the A-10 and the national stage," said Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Lipitz. "She is a program-builder, evidenced by the remarkable turnaround she engineered at Colgate, an elite recruiter, a relentless competitor, and a skilled tactician and teacher of the game. Moreover, she builds deep, authentic relationships with her student-athletes on- and off-the-court. We're thrilled to welcome Coach G home to Foggy Bottom." 

A 1,000-point scorer and All-ACC performer as a four-year letterwinner at Florida State, Adeduntan also excelled in the classroom as a four-time ACC All-Academic honoree. She earned her both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing (Nurse Practitioner) from Florida State, and her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Northeastern.
