UNCW head women’s basketball coach Karen Barefoot continues to build her coaching staff with the addition of Dave Caputo and Brittany Morris as assistant coaches.

The selection of Caputo and Morris completes Barefoot’s on-the-court staff following the earlier appointment of former Delaware head coach Tina Martin.

“We are very excited to announce the addition of Dave and Brittany to our staff,” said Barefoot, who was named the Seahawks’ coach on May 3. “Dave has extensive experience at the collegiate level. He is an outstanding recruiter and enthusiastic coach who loves the game and has a high level of energy.

Caputo joins the Seahawks after spending four years as the head women’s basketball coach at Bloomfield College. He led the Bears to an 82-36 record with three Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference regular season titles and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.

Under Caputo’s guidance, the Bears won 20 or more games three times. He was named as the CACC Coach-of-the-Year in 2015-16 after leading Bloomfield to a school-record 24 victories and the program’s first at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to his time at Bloomfield, Caputo spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech and three years as the head women’s basketball coach at Indian River State College. In addition, he was an assistant coach at Florida Atlantic for one season after a year at Sante Fe Community College.

Caputo, a 2005 graduate of Montclair State, started his coaching career as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Bloomfield from 2002-06.

“I am beyond excited to join Coach Barefoot and the UNCW family,” Caputo said. “Coach Barefoot is one of the hardest-working coaches in the business. Her passion, enthusiasm and energy are unbelievable. She is so fun to be around and her outgoing personality is absolutely contagious. I can’t wait to get started in helping her and the staff in every way possible.”
