The Unrivalled League, co-founded in 2023 by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, launched its inaugural season in January 2025 with six teams and is set to expand to eight franchises for its second campaign in January 2026.
Wakama’s appointment was officially announced on Thursday when the league unveiled the full roster of head coaches for the upcoming season. She will join seven other coaches guiding teams in the league’s sophomore year.
“Rena Wakama will lead Hive BC in the team’s Unrivalled debut after serving as an assistant coach for the Chicago Sky,” the league stated. “She also serves as head coach of the Nigerian Women’s National Team and made history in 2024 when D’Tigress became the first African team, men’s or women’s, to reach the Olympic quarterfinals.”
At 32 years old, Wakama has achieved a remarkable rise in her coaching career. She led D’Tigress to consecutive FIBA Women’s AfroBasket titles in 2023 and 2025, becoming the first female head coach to win the tournament. Under her guidance, Nigeria also reached the quarterfinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Since taking over as head coach in June 2023, she secured her first Women’s AfroBasket title in August 2023 and followed it with another in 2025,” the league added.
Before her national team success, Wakama served as an assistant coach at Tulane University and Stony Brook University. She began her coaching journey at Manhattan College, initially as director of basketball operations before being promoted to assistant coach. Her playing career at Western Carolina University laid the foundation for her transition into coaching.
Wakama now joins an accomplished cadre of coaches in the Unrivalled League, including Noelle Quinn (Breeze BC), Andrew Wade (Laces BC), DJ Sackmann (Lunar Owls BC), Zach O’Brien (Mist BC), Roneeka Hodges (Phantom BC), defending champion Nola Henry (Rose BC), and Teresa Weatherspoon (Vinyl BC).
