Last week, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) began announcing its post-season honors, with Rutgers University head coach Coquese Washington receiving the Carol Eckman Integrity in Coaching Award.
Presented annually, the award honors a coach who shows spirit, integrity, and character through sportsmanship.
March Madness is underway and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament began yesterday. The overall top seed in the tournament is defending champion University of South Carolina. Although USC is undefeated this season, it is still anyone’s game as the tournament unfolds, and Washington said there may be some surprises.
As it was last year, the tournament will be a showcase for female coaches of color. Niele Ivey, head coach at Notre Dame and the first Black female head coach to lead a team to a regular season ACC title, was named ACC Coach of the Year. South Carolina’s first-round match is against Norfolk State University, one of two HBCU institutions heading to the Big Dance. The Spartans punched their ticket by defeating Howard in the MEAC Tournament.
