SUGAR LAND, Texas – Former Lady Raider great Alesha Robertson-Ellis and former assistant coach/chief of staff Larry Tidwell were inducted into the TABC Hall of Fame Saturday.
A former standout under Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Marsha Sharp, Robertson-Ellis was an All-Big 12 Second Team selection in 2006-07. An All-Big 12 Freshman Team selection and two-time honorable mention honoree, Robertson-Ellis scored 1,571 points, the eighth most in Lady Raider history.
Fifth all-time in 3-point field goals made and the single-game record-holder for 3-pointers made (9), Robertson-Ellis has made a successful transition to college coaching having spent the last nine seasons as a head coach.
Robertson-Ellis spent the previous eight seasons at Wayland Baptist where she earned four Sooner Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Coach of the Year awards. Last June, Robertson-Ellis resigned from Wayland to accept the head coach position at Angelo State.
Inheriting a team that went just 1-13 during the COVID-19 Pandemic shortened season, Robertson-Ellis led the Rambelles' to an impressive 15-13 recording including a 12-4 Lonestar Conference mark.
She is married to former Texas Tech men's basketball player Andy Ellis, who currently serves as her assistant coach.
The second TABC honoree is former assistant coach/chief of staff, Larry Tidwell. Tidwell spent one season in Lubbock after a decorated career coaching throughout the State of Texas at schools like Lamar and UTRGV.
Tidwell just retired after spending the last two seasons at the helm of Dallas Christian College's women's basketball program.
