Longtime FAMU DRS head girls basketball coach takes job at Florida A&M.

After a decade coaching her Alma mater, longtime FAMU DRS girls basketball coach Ericka Cromartie is moving on, but she’s not going far.

Cromartie will still wear orange and green, as she has accepted a job as an assistant coach for the Florida A&M women’s basketball team, effective Friday, November 8th.

Cromartie, a 2001 FAMU DRS graduate, continued the winning tradition that Ahmad Aliyy established before her at her Alma mater. She took over the program in 2014, leading the girls basketball team to eight state final fours, and three state championships.

“I extremely excited for this opportunity to continue to grow and expand my knowledge of the game of basketball,” Cromartie said in a statement to WCTV. “A game that has afforded me numerous of opportunities! To my FAMU High family I will always cherish the memories as a student, student athlete and a coach! We made history and accomplished everything I could imagine and more! I will be a Baby Rattler til I die!”
