Remy Lory enters his fourth season as a member of Ashleen Bracey's staff. Lory joined the program in May 2022 as the director of scouting, before being promoted to assistant coach in July 2023.
Â
With the help of Lory, UIC earned the program's second consecutive postseason tournament berth and first trip to the WNIT since 2007. It also marked the second consecutive winning season for the Flames, something the program has not done in a decade (2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons).
He played a role in the Flames 19-win season in 2022-23. The team tied for the second-most wins in school history, earning just its third postseason bid.
Â
Lory joined the Flames after a five-season stint on the staff at Central Methodist University. He helped build CMU into an NAIA powerhouse and mentored one National Player of the Year, two All-Americans, and eight All-Conference players.
Â
Lory was Central Methodist's primary recruiter as the associate head coach. During his time with the Eagles, he was part of an Elite Eight squad and a Final Four appearance. CMU was also poised to make a deep run in the 2020 national tournament, which they entered with a record of 31-2 before the tournament was canceled. Lory helped guide Central Methodist to a 123-34 record over his five seasons.
Â
Before moving to Central Methodist, Lory was an assistant coach at Arizona Western College in the junior college ranks. He led the team to a runner-up finish in their region of the NJCAA, and had two players from that team move on to Division I programs.
Â
Lory is a 2016 graduate of Southeastern University, where he majored in Sports Management. He earned his Master's of Education from Central Methodist in 2019.
