Sandrine Krul

WSC North Coach of the Year  2006, 2010
Pat Moorhouse Women's Coach of the Year at SBCC 2019-20


The 2023-24 campaign was the 20th year for Sandrine Krul as head coach. Since her first year with the team in 2004-05, she is currently 304-245. Coach Krul earned her 300th victory on January 30, 2024.

Krul has built Women's Basketball into one of the top teams in the state. She's had four 20-win seasons, including 2006-07 when SBCC went 23-8 and won the WSC North title with an 11-1 record. Krul was the WSC North Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2010.


SBCC qualified for the Southern Cal Regional eight times in eight years from 2006 to 2013. The Vaqueros snapped Ventura's 121-game WSC home winning streak on Jan. 15, 2013 with a 70-67 victory.

The goal for this year is to continue to build a program that is based on class, discipline, and pride. Each team member must strive to reach each core value for success in the classroom and on the basketball court. The core values are Conviction, Over Learn, Adaptability, Consistency, Honesty and the team's mantra of MTXE (Mental Toughness Extra Effort).

"Coach K" is also proud of her players' academic success. Many have received academic or athletic scholarships to 4-year schools and the Vaqueros have a 97-percent graduation rate in the past eight years. "My goal is to make sure every participant has a positive experience either as a player or as a redshirt," she said.

Krul was a first-team All-State performer at  L.A. Valley College. She finished her career at Cal State San Bernardino, where she earned All-Conference honors.

She received her BA in Kinesiology from CSUN and graduated with honors with a Master's in Education from Azusa Pacific University. She teaches Introduction to Kinesiology and Cardio Boxing.

Sandrine resides in Santa Barbara with her husband, John, and their two adult children, Cameron and Megan.
