Head Women's Basketball coach Brittany Christia, commonly known as "BC," begins her third year at the program's helm for the 2023-2024 season. In her first two years, she recruited and mentored a 2021-2022 Region XIV Rookie of the Year - Shaunice Reed, and four additional players who garnered All-Region and All-Conference honors. Of those players, two have been recognized nationally as Top 40 NJCAA All-Stars: Nykesha Sanders, who finished her freshman year second in the country in assists and completed her career at PJC with 377 assists, and Mikiya House, who completed her freshman campaign leading Region XIV in scoring and field goal percentage and fourth in rebounding. In just two years, Coach BC has secured two wins over Top 25 opponents, as well as the program’s first win over defending national champion Tyler Junior College, all firsts for the program in at least five years prior to her arrival. She also holds a 100% graduation and placement rate for the young ladies in her program.
Coach BC came to PJC after serving as assistant women's basketball coach at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indianna. Prior to that she was assistant coach for two seasons at Delaware State University, where she was part of a resurgence of their program which was among the top 75 recruiting class in the country.
"What I want to build here is a high character, high quality program," Christian said. "My bio shows I've been to many different levels of basketball and the thing that I really love about junior college basketball is this transition period. I really feel good about impacting young women to be able to move on to their next step in life and basketball. I'm excited to build a brand of basketball that you are going to love to see, to be highly competitive and successful, but I'm more dedicated to placing great young women in this community and into the world beyond PJC."
Before Delaware State, Christian spent the 2017-2018 season as the head coach at Northwest Kansas Technical College, a National Junior College Athletic Association Division I school. She led the Mavericks to a 20-11 record and top-25 national rankings in multiple statistical categories.
Christian spent the 2016-2017 season as an assistant coach at Northwest Kansas Technical College. She was named the 2016-2017 Women's Basketball Coaches Association Junior College National Assistant Coach of the Year and a WBCA 30 Under 30 honoree after helping lead the team to its best season ever with a 28-2 overall record.
Her prized recruit at Northwest Kansas, Tran Brown, holds the school's single-season points record and was among the nation's top scorers. Christian also recruited the school's career scoring and rebounding leader, Juliet James.
From 2013 to 2015, Christian was an assistant coach at Cheyney University. In 2012 and 2013 she was an assistant coach, then interim head coach, at Frostburg State University in Maryland.
