A new quiz in honor of the upcoming season. Some WBB history (mostly coaches), some current coaches and an NFL bonus section: (mods move to general WBB if you prefer)
1 – In the early ‘80’s, USC won 2 national championships behind Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper. The head coach of those teams, in the WBB Hall of Fame, was?
2 – Also featured on the team were a pair of twins. One went on to play in the WNBA, have her son play in the NBA, and have her daughter play in the WNBA. Both her and her son won Olympic Gold Medals. Who was she?
3 – Staying with the “way back” machine – we hear a lot about the “Wade” Trophy – where did Margaret Wade coach?
4 – We can also remember those “Mighty Macs”. Theresa Shank, Rene Muth and Marianne Crawford all went on to notable head coaching careers. We know them better as?
5 – The head coach of those “Mighty Mac” teams was?
6 – Vivian Stringer was one of 2 pioneering female black head coaches at major universities. The other coached at one university for 31 years, with a lifetime record of 560-363. Coach and school?
7 – There were some very famous coaches over the years, closely associated with particular schools. Do we know the schools to associate with Joe Ciampi, Elaine Elliott, Dr. Jill Hutchinson or Rhonda Rompola?
8 – While there may be others, I know of only one Head Women’s Basketball Coach at a major program who hailed from Japan. Can you name the former Oregon State coach?

15 – And, finally, name 3 schools where the female head coach’s husband is on the staff.
