Anh-Dao Tran was hired as an assistant coach of the Dartmouth women's basketball team in August 2023.
Tran joined the Big Green after spending the past two seasons as the women's basketball operations coordinator at Brown. She was previously the athletic director at Besant Hill School of Happy Valley in Ojai, California, where she oversaw eight varsity sports and mentored 24 coaches, in addition to coaching the boys' and girls' varsity basketball teams for one year each.
A Worcester, Massachusetts native, Tran began her impressive collegiate playing career at the University of New Haven before transferring to Adelphi, Cimino's alma mater, where she powered the Panthers to their first-ever NE-10 title on her way to garnering a WBCA All-America Honorable Mention in 2014-15.
Tran played professionally in Germany for a year following her time as a collegiate standout. She was also a member of the Vietnamese Women's National Team that won gold at the 2022 ABL 3x3 International Cup and silver in the 3x3 event during the 2021 Southeast Asian Games to give Vietnam its first ever medal in women's basketball history.
Tran earned her bachelor's degree in biology in 2014 before receiving her master's in public health in 2017, both from Adelphi.
