Just realized that this will be the 50th anniversary of Cal Women's Basketball playing in an organized conference. First season was 1973-74 under Coach Deborah Gebhardt. That year, playing in the NCIAC, we went 5-5.
In these fifty years, we have had ten head coaches, all of whom have been female. The winning percentages of these coaches have been:
Joanne Boyle 68.1%
Lindsey Gottlieb 66.8%
Gooch Foster 55.7%
Marci Cantrell 52.5%
Barb Iten 52.5%
Deb Gebhardt 50.0%
June Scoponich 36.4%
Caren Horstmeyer 36.4%
Charmin Smith 36.3%
Marianne Staley 31.8%
Time for Charmin to begin moving up the list in this historic season.
Also shows how great the Boyle and Gottlieb eras really were, with a special thanks to Caren for her last great recruiting class.
