STOW, Mass. – March 18, 2026 – Masters Academy International (MAI) announced Rodney Hill, a coach with experience across the SEC, Big 12 and WNBA, as Head Coach of Girls Basketball.

Hill arrives at MAI following his role as an assistant coach at Auburn University, where he was part of the Tigers’ women’s basketball staff. Prior to Auburn, Hill spent two seasons at Texas A&M, his alma mater, where he helped lead the Aggies to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2021 and contributed to a 10-win improvement during his first season. Throughout his career, he has coached 15 NCAA Division I All-Conference players.

Before Texas A&M, Hill served as an assistant coach at TCU and previously led SA Finest as head coach, guiding his 17U team to a 3SSB national championship in 2021.

While our goal is to win basketball games and compete for national championships, our true focus at MAI is helping each student-athlete develop the habits and character that lead to success on and off the court.”
