Rene Haynes was named the 12th head coach in the 54-year history of Long Island University women's basketball in April of 2019. Haynes came to LIU after spending the last five seasons as an assistant coach at Duke University.

A promising young coach who has played and coached at the highest levels of NCAA Division I women's basketball, Haynes has worked at schools in the ACC, SEC and Mid-American Conference, as well as playing in the Big Ten and professionally overseas.

The 2021-22 season was highlighted by unanimous NEC Rookie of the Year, Emaia O'Brien. Haynes mentored the seven-time Rookie of the Week and all-rookie team selection, averaging 10.3 points and 1.4 assists. Brandy Thomas highlighted the conference recognition with a spot on the first-team all-NEC.
