With March Madness right around the corner, let’s take a look at which head coaches have won the most national championships in women’s NCAA tournament history.
GENO AURIEMMA, 11 CHAMPIONSHIPS
Auriemma has the most NCAA Tournament championships of any head coach, even beating out John Wooden’s 10 titles in men’s college basketball. He’s been the Connecticut Huskies’ head coach since 1985, leading UConn to 11 national championships and 22 Final Four appearances. Before Auriemma, UConn had just one winning season in the program’s history. Most recently, he led UConn to back-to-back-to-back-to-back titles from 2013 to 2016. Auriemma is a nine-time AP Coach of the Year, eight-time Naismith Coach of the Year, seven-time WBCA National Coach of the Year and winner of the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award. He’s been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame and Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. Auriemma has also coached Team USA to three Olympic gold medals. Read More
