Rutgers’ C. Vivian Stringer explains why she stepped away and addresses her coaching future...

[Tango Two]

In a 48-year coaching career that included nearly 1,500 games, Rutgers women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer called at least 7,000 timeouts.

But she never called one on herself.

Until last season, that is.

I think this same story is supposed to be on ESPN as well, but I only get a gateway error on the link.

Also in the Arizona Daily Star (Tucson) - good press for Rutgers, for sure.

Looks to be an AP article, so it would have been on the news service wire--broad distribution.

Doubtless, but I'm not sure a few years ago that the Star would have carried it. While I enjoy the paper and actually read it daily, it isn't exactly large as paper's go, and Women's Basketball (in general and the UofA version) was not one of the sports that got a lot of coverage.

Oddly enough, or maybe not so oddly, with the WBB WNIT title last spring, Softball making the World Series after a long hiatus, Women's Soccer excelling, and the contract extension for WVB head coach Dave Rubio, all of a sudden women's sports in general and, of course, UA specifically, are getting much improved coverage.
