Bio/Historical Note: Lisa Thomaidis (born 1972) attended McMaster University and earned her degree in Kinesiology. She played five seasons (1990-1995) for the basketball Marauders, earning Ontario University Athletics (OUA) West All-Star Team honours in 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1994-95. In 2006, Thomaidis was inducted into the McMaster Athletics Hall of Fame. After graduation she played two seasons (1996-1997, 1997-1998) of professional basketball in Europe in the Greek 1st Division for Apollon Ptolemaidas, when an injury ended her basketball career and led her to coaching. Starting in 1998 Thomaidis began coaching women's basketball at the University of Saskatchewan. During her 23-year career as coach of the Huskies, she led the team to seven Canada West titles and was Canada West Coach of the Year in 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2008-2009, 2010-2011 and 2015-2016. The Huskies were Bronze Baby national championship winners in 2015-2016 and 2019-2020. Thomaidis was given the Peter Ennis Award for Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) Coach of the Year) in 2008-2009 and 2010-2011. The 2021-2022 season will be Thomaidis’s 24th year as Huskie head coach. Outside the University of Saskatchewan, Thomaidis was an assistant coach for Canada women's national basketball team from 2002-2013, which included a quarterfinal performance at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2013 she replaced Allison McNeill as head coach and her team won silver at the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship. Thomaidis then led Canada's women's basketball team to a fifth place finish at the 2014 FIBA World Championship and a gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games. Thomaidis's team came in seventh at the 2016 Summer Olympics, won gold at the 2017 FIBA Women's AmeriCup, and finished seventh at the 2018 FIBA World Cup. Heading into the 2020 (2021) Tokyo Summer Olympics, she led the team to a FIBA world ranking of fourth, the highest in program history. The Canadian team suffered a first-round elimination at the Olympics (held in July-August 2021) and Thomaidis left the team. She compiled a 83-44 record at the helm.
