Shelton State Women's Basketball Add Gehrig Donaldson to Staff

Tuscaloosa- Shelton State Women's Basketball welcomes back a familiar face, Gehrig Donaldson as an assistant coach.

Donaldson, who served as a student assistant for the Lady Bucs from 2023-2025, returns to Shelton after spending last season as a student manager for coach Kristy Curry and the Alabama Women's Basketball program. During his time with the Lady Bucs, Donaldson assisted the Lady Bucs to a 59-10 record, the 2024 ACCC Championship, and a NJCAA National Runner-Up in 2025, the highest finish in school and ACCC history. In his lone season across town at the Capstone, the Crimson Tide went 24-11, advancing to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.

"I could not be more excited to welcome Gehrig back to the staff," said head coach Madonna Thompson. "His experience here (at Shelton State) coupled with spending a year in the SEC gives him a strong foundation to build upon. Adding Gehrig only strengthens our program and I cannot wait to see his continued growth"

Donaldson received his Associate's of Science degree from Shelton State in 2025 and is currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in News Media at the University of Alabama.
