PRINCETON, N.J. – Princeton women's basketball head coach Carla Berube has finalized her staff with the hiring of Helen Tau as the Director of Basketball Operations.
Â
"I'm so happy to welcome Helen to our Tiger Basketball Family as the Director of Basketball Operations," stated Berube. "Her extensive experiences at both Texas and Georgetown have her ready for this next role at Princeton. Helen's energy is contagious while her thoughtfulness and work ethic is admirable. The rest of the staff and I are looking forward to working alongside Helen. Go Tigers!"
Â
"Princeton is the epitome of academic and athletic excellence," said Tau. "The university is committed to ensuring the most fulfilling college experience for its student-athletes, and I am excited to work with everyone here and in the Princeton community. I can't wait to get started with Coach Berube. Her record and basketball accolades speak for themselves, but she's an even better person. I feel extremely lucky to be part of her staff and Princeton athletics."
Â
Tau had spent the past two seasons with Georgetown as the Director of Video Operations. While there, she handled video for the squad and social media.
Â
Prior to Georgetown, Tau was a graduate assistant for two years at Texas. With the Longhorns, she did video breakdown and scouts to help the coaching staff and created a metric system to evaluate player performance during both games and practice. Tau also spent time at Texas as a student manager before walking on to the team as senior, earning an athletic scholarship in her final semester.
Â
The former Longhorn also has experience coaching with Texas Elite Basketball and Westlake Hoops. Other experiences include program coordinator with the Shorthorns and operations intern with Austin Spurs of the NBA G-League.
Â
Tau graduated from Texas in 2014 with a degree in business honors and finance before earning her master's degree in Sport Management in 2017.
