Meghin Williams is the first Cal Women’s Basketball General Manager. 

In this role, she works closely with Cal Women’s Basketball Coach Charmin Smith and the coaching staff to ensure the program remains competitive both on and off the court, in today’s evolving landscape of collegiate athletics.  Her areas of focus include revenue growth, roster-building strategies, overall program operations and the holistic development of student-athletes.

Williams brings more than a decade of leadership experience, having played a vital role in the success of high-level Division 1 programs, including Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Princeton. A graduate of the University of Nebraska, she helped the Cornhuskers to 2 NCAA Sweet 16 appearances during her playing career.

The Cal Women’s Basketball Team finished the 25/26 season 21-15 overall, with much room for optimism going forward. The team advanced to the quarter finals of the Women’s Basketball Invitation tournament and during the season, showed it can compete against some of the top teams in the country.  The Bears will return a majority of their starting core and feature a proven transfer class and exciting incoming freshman.

Williams states: “In the NIL & transfer portal era our focus is retention. The ability to retain and develop our players will continue to be a focal point. I am incredibly proud of the work our staff does to build a culture that can sustain the portal and that I work for a head coach that still celebrates the student athlete experience. Exciting times are ahead for Cal women’s basketball. Grab a seat in Haas, women’s basketball is very much alive in the Bay!"
