Randle joined Laura Beeman’s staff in June of 2017 after spending the previous eight years as the assistant coach at La Jolla Country Day School in La Jolla, Calif., as well as assistant coach for the Waves Basketball Club.
La Jolla Country Day won four Coastal South League championships, four CIF San Diego Section championships, three California Southern Regional championships and two California state championships during Randle’s tenure.
Randle also founded Player Edge in 2009, where he worked with some of the top college basketball players in the country, including the first pick in the 2017 WNBA draft, Kelsey Plum.
“I feel honored, humbled and blessed that Coach Beeman reached out to me,” Randle said. “I’ve been coaching at the high school level and coached some high school players who had a lot of success at the next level. I have always felt like I could have an impact on this level and helping girls develop their game. Now I have a chance to see if I can actually do it. I’m excited to be here and get on the court with the girls and try to help them.”
“I remember when I was at USC I watched Berry work out some of his travel ball kids, and I watched him more than I watched the girls,” Beeman said. “I was just intrigued by what he did, his disposition with the kids, and how he got them to another level. He never used anger or fear as a motivator. I watched one of those young ladies develop into the number one pick in the WNBA draft this year. His playing experience is intriguing to me because he will bring a professional approach from the men’s side. It’s not just the player development that he brings to the table, there’s more to it.”
Berry played collegiately at San Diego State from 1992-96, before playing internationally in Mexico, Germany, the Philippines and Canada.
