Caitlin Clark Delivers Heartwarming Message After Lisa Bluder’s Iowa Hawkeyes Retirement

Over the following years, Clark established herself as the best player in women’s college basketball and one of the most talented scorers out there. She cemented her legacy a few months ago when the Hawkeyes star broke Pete Maravich’s old record to become the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer.

However, Clark didn’t get the perfect conclusion to her college career after Iowa fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the championship round. Nevertheless, she went first in the 2024 WNBA Draft when the Indiana Fever selected her recently. Furthermore, Clark also secured big-time deals with Nike and Panini, making her one of the few female athletes to garner such popularity.

Just recently, Iowa Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder announced her retirement. In response, Clark posted her gratitude and appreciation on social media.

“Simply no one better at building a team… Thank you for believing in me more than anyone  Enjoy retirement, coach. Very much deserved,” Clark tweeted.

Bluder spent the last 24 years coaching the Hawkeyes, which totals to 40 seasons. She is also considered the women’s basketball head coach with the most wins in Big Ten history.
