C. Vivian Stringer  

After leading small college Cheney State to the NCAA championship game in 1982, she became a hot coaching prospect. Iowa was able to convince her to leave after the 1983 season. She coached at Iowa 12 seasons from 1983 to 1995, where she compiled a record of 269–84 (.762) overall, and 169–45 (.790) in the Big Ten. She led the Hawks to the 1993 NCAA Final Four and twice to the Elite Eight. She also won or tied for 6 Big Ten titles.

She built a program that helped elevate women’s basketball to a whole new level at Iowa. When she arrived, the Hawkeyes had won just seven games the season before her arrival and were ranked 299 out of 302 teams nationally in attendance. She brought excitement and winning to the program, and helped coordinate and break the NCAA women's basketball attendance record with 22,157 on February 3, 1985 in a game against Ohio State.

More details about women's basketball coming in the future.

Born 3/16/1948 and is 75 years old.
