TIARA P. MALCOM
Women’s Basketball (2001-05)
A standout frontcourt player on the basketball court, Tiara Malcom earned a host of awards and set numerous school records during her stellar career at the University of Delaware.
A native of Wilmington, Del. and a standout at nearby Caravel Academy, Tiara was an instant star for head coach Tina Martin and led her teams to a four-year record of 89-32, two Colonial Athletic Association regular season titles, and three post-season WNIT appearances.
A three-time all-conference selection, she was named the CAA Player of the Year as a senior in 2005 when she averaged a league-best 15.5 points per game and pulled 6.8 rebounds per contest. She also was selected as the 2005 University of Delaware Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year.
Malcom set Blue Hen women’s basketball standards for career free throws made (535, also a CAA record), games played (121), and double-figure scoring games (88) and ranked No. 4 all-time in scoring (1,545 points), No. 5 in blocked shots (109), and No. 9 in rebounding (794).
Tiara earned her degree in family and community services in 2005 and her master’s degree in higher education administration in 2011, both from Delaware. After a brief professional career overseas, she returned to the University of Delaware as an assistant coach and served with the Blue Hens for nine seasons in 2006-15.
During her tenure as an assistant coach, the Blue Hens advanced to the NCAA Tournament twice, in 2007 and 2012, and captured the 2012 CAA Tournament title with a 31-2 record and a No. 7 national ranking.
She began her tenure as women's basketball head coach at Florida International University in 2016-17.
