Stringer, who just finished her 10th season as Rutgers’ head coach, served as an assistant coach for the 2004 U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team that won a gold medal in Athens, Greece. She was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Naismith National Coach-of-the-Year Award, leading Rutgers to a 28-7 overall record and a 14-2 mark in BIG EAST play as RU won its first outright BIG EAST regular-season title. Rutgers advanced to the final of the BIG EAST Tournament for the second straight year, and the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000, finishing with a final ranking of seventh in the WBCA/ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll. Stringer became the 21st Division I coach overall, the fourth women’s Division I coach and the ninth active Division I coach to record her 700th victory with a 68-46 win against Princeton Dec. 8, and moved into third place on the women’s Division I victories list (709) with a 71-60 win at No. 14/13 Boston College Jan. 26.
