Judith Wilkins Rose is the Director of Athletics for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Charlotte 49ers.
Rose played women's basketball for the Winthrop Eagles from 1970 to 1974.
Rose graduated from Winthrop University in 1974 with a B.S. degree in Physical Education. She received a Masters degree in Physical Education from the University of Tennessee in 1975.
While at Tennessee, Rose was a graduate assistant under legendary women's basketball coach Pat Summitt.
Rose joined the Charlotte 49ers program in 1975 as women's basketball and tennis coach. She served as UNC Charlotte's coordinator of women's athletics from 1976-82. She served as the women's basketball team's first head coach from 1975-82. Rose produced success on the AIAW Division II level and built a career record of 93-56, which included three 20-plus win seasons and two AIAW All-Americans (Paula Bennett and Patricia Walker).
Rose was promoted to assistant athletic director in 1981 and was named associate director of athletics in 1985 to then-athletic director and men’s basketball coach Jeff Mullins. In 1982, the 49ers women’s program left the AIAW for NCAA Division I, and Rose was named assistant athletic director.
In 1990, Mullins was asked by the UNC System Board of Governors to relinquish his dual role. With Coach Mullins' recommendation UNC Charlotte Chancellor Dr. James H. Woodward appointed Judy Rose director of athletics at UNC Charlotte on July 1, 1990. Dr. Woodward promoted Mullins to Associate Vice Chancellor/men’s basketball coach at that time.
Rose became the sixth person to head the athletics department and just the second who was not also the men’s basketball coach. She was the third woman, ever, to spearhead a collegiate program.
