PITTSBURGH -- Point Park University Head Women's Basketball Coach Taylor Fulton announced her coaching staff on Friday ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Fulton, who enters her first year at the helm of the Point Park women's basketball program, will add Pamela Artman and Clyde Manns Jr. as assistant coaches and will return Makayla Abram as a graduate assistant.
Artman joins the Pioneers after spending a tenure as an assistant coach at Edinboro (Pa.) University. The Fighting Scots posted a record of 52-32 over her time, and Artman helped develop Edinboro's all-time leading scorer while with the program.
In addition to playing a large role in recruiting, player development and game planning, Artman established the program's inaugural Alumni Women's Basketball Game.
A Pittsburgh native, Artman played collegiately at Edinboro, where she scored over 1,000 points, eclipsed the 500 mark in rebounds and assists and recorded a program-record 304 steals. Artman, who graduated in 1995, was inducted into Edinboro's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.
Manns arrives at Point Park on the back of more than 25 years of experience in college basketball, including three years of experience at the Division I level.
Manns served as head women's basketball coach at Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) for the past three seasons. He was an assistant coach at the DI level from 2017-2020, working for a season at Valparaiso (2017-18), Rhode Island (2018-19) and Wisconsin-Green Bay (2019-20).
Manns played for four years at Pitt-Greensburg, where he helped lead the Bobcats to back-to-back Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference championships in 1999 and 2000. Additionally, he founded EIT Basketball Training, where he has spent two decades training youth, high school, collegiate and professional athletes. He also enters his fourth season as a regional lead Youth Development Coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Makayla Abram spent the 2025-26 season as a graduate assistant for Point Park women's basketball. A native of Steubenville, Ohio, Abram earned the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Newcomer of the Year award in her freshman season at La Roche College.
Abram was named to the AMCC All-Conference Team several times and helped La Roche win three regular season and tournament championships. She scored 1,317 points over her career and added 662 rebounds.
