- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Congrats on a great career. Time to enter the modern age of women's basketball. It's time.
Pleeease Pat—
Someone who has a map of New Jersey and lots of quarters.
Someone who is either from New Jersey or has proven as a head or assistant coach they can recruit the state.
Someone who will speak with the media and knows how to work with them.
Someone who has been a head coach or assistant at a major school.
Someone who realizes there is almost no fan base left and has to do community events, lots of interviews, Free clinics to create a Big Ten level fanbase. We are the State University of New Jersey in the Big Ten Conference and have crowds that resemble Towson.
Someone who will work with the NJSIAA to bring as many high school games, playoffs, All Star Games, and tournaments as possible to The RAC.
Someone who will have a style of play that people want to watch and 16 and 17 year olds are drawn to.

OK. Don't see it being any more interesting than any other coach search.
While the team suffered this year, a silver lining is we know who will not be a candidate. Sorry if that is harsh. Make lemonade out of lemons.
See who Hobbs nabs as the new coach. Whether you like him or not, the guy has been pretty impressive in hiring new coaches.
Rutgers women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer retires after long, mysterious leave
The greatest coach in Rutgers women's basketball history announced her retirement on Saturday.
Well he’s had plenty of time to plan for a new coach in WBB.
And someone not from the CVS coaching tree we need a fresh start!!!
I am sure he has his list ALREADY as he knew this was coming but had to wait for her to announce
Hall of Fame coach C. Vivian Stringer retires after 50 years
C. Vivian Stringer has been a trailblazer, serving as a role model to many Black coaches and players throughout her 50-year career. The Hall of Fame coach announced her retirement on Saturday. Stringer made four Final Four appearances and reached the NCAA Tournament 28 times while leading...
We don’t need a superstar type .We need a coach who has the energy, recruiting prowess and the ability to bring this program back within a few years. If I may “ a Steve Owens” type with a proven record even from a smaller school will do just fine. Hobb’s has so far been very good in selecting coaches.

Congrats coach Stringer you have had a great career.Thanks for your dedication and time at Rutgers.
Posted this in a separate thread. I apologize for knowing nothing about womens bball. A friend reached out this morning with a potential new coach name. I have no idea if this person is a good coach or would be a fit but the name I was told is Courtney banghart. I think she coaches unc so not sure if that would translate into be a good fit in nj.
Congrats Coach on an amazing career and for the many good things you did for Rutgers! I hope you enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement.
Do her players attend classes at UNC? The men’s team doesn’t according to reports posted by other sources.
I’ll stand by my initial statement 1 month ago. I am still being told the same name is interested. This active coach said they would consider the opportunity no matter what situation they were in with another entity/school if it ever came to fruition.
Are you referring to the same coach I mentioned? If so, that would be pretty interesting that separate sources have cited the same target. I’d have to believe where there’s smoke…
C Vivian Stringer Court. I am okay with it despite her faulty retirement landing. She is an incredible coach and role model with a long list of accomplishments, The memory of her should be a positive. Its the last few years where it became murky. That should not define her career here
are we talking Dawn Staley, Courtney at UNC is pretty big.
of course you could be talking about Kim Barnes Arrico who I would love as head coach. Please
I never thought Courtney would be a name that was interested or would be realistic. Has only been at UNC a couple of years and seemed like that was a place she would thrive and stay many years. I like her style of play and how she develops a program. We could do much worse. She would be a home run.
From rumors back in 2008 pre South Carolina Staley was the heir apparent. She was ready to join staff and take a coach in waiting 1 year transition. Don’t think we can beat her lifetime contract at USC.
yeah we sort of missed the boat with that one, she had such immense success down there it sort of made a return up east to be unlikely.
"Murky" is a good way to describe the last few years bac, though to be fair, one could describe the entire world a "murky" since COVID arrived.
The legacy CVS left at RU is unparalleled. She was a coaching legend when she arrived on the banks and her legend only grew. She is an historic coach on so many levels, and was a tremendous representative of the university for decades.
Her former players refer to themselves as "CVS kids" and you can tell how much mutual love there is between them. Our alums are all over the WNBA: Kahleah, Betnijah, Epiphany, Kia, Arella, Erica. Cappie was named one of the top 25 players in the WNBA's 25 year history. That's not to mention other legends like Tammy Sutton Brown, Tasha Pointer, Essence Carson, Chelsea Newton, and more.
We'll miss you coach.

Barnes Arrico born in NY and lived in NJ while coaching at St Johns. It might be a nice draw back for her. Obviously we would have to pay major bucks but we were paying major bucks anyhow for CVS
She also played at and graduated from Montclair State. So definitely has NJ ties.
I'm glad my mom finally gets to enter retirement and spend time with her family.
To paraphrase the late, great Edward R. Murrow, “ Good bye and good luck.” Brighter days are ahead. The naming tribute is well deserved and her legacy at RU is secure. But, it was more than clear that it was time to go.
Rutgers’ possible candidates to replace women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer
With a leave that lasted a year, the Scarlet Knights should be prepared for a search.
Here's what Pat had to say in an e-mail to supporters:

Hopefully C.Vivian Stringer will be healthy enough to enjoy her retirement and remain connected to the RUWBB Program as Head Coach Emeritus bridging the gap of past success under her to the future successful program headed by her successor.
To Ex RU HC Vivian Stringer from one who thinks you're one of the greats of the game now and will be considered one forever:
Thanks for the great memories your tenure brought all RU WBB fans and enjoy retiring as one of the most respected College Head Coaches ( men & women) that made a difference for all who played under on and off the court.
