Danis has been the head coach of the University of Manitoba
Bisons women’s basketball team since 2001-02.
Danis
is no stranger to winning traditions, with her sterling playing
background as the starting point guard for the University of Winnipeg

friendship and understanding and the teachings of the bison.

seasons. In addition, Danis coached the Manitoba Juvenile Provincial
team for two seasons, and also spent one season as an assistant
coach of the University of Manitoba Bisons.
