Caitlin Clark Reveals True Feelings on Iowa Hawkeyes’ New Coach After Lisa Bluder’s Retirement

Under the guidance of Lisa Bluder, Clark established herself as the best scorer in NCAA women’s basketball history. She did just that a few months ago when the Iowa Hawkeyes star broke Pete Maravich’s old record and made history as the all-time leading scorer in college basketball.

For her part, Bluder is considered as the women’s head coach with the most wins in Big Ten history. In the 24 years she coached the Hawkeyes, she won 782 games and lost 528. Adding her time coaching Drake and her record goes up to 1,075-716. All in all, Bluder spent 40 seasons as a head coach for women’s college basketball.

Caitlin Clark Congratulates Jan Jansen As Iowa Hawkeyes New Coach After Lisa Bluder’s Retirement

Along with the announcement of Bluder’s retirement, Iowa also informed the public that Jan Jansen will replace her as the Hawkeyes’ new head coach. In response, Clark shared his thoughts about the coaching change on her official X account:

Jansen served as Bluder’s assistant during her time in Iowa, and even coaching Drake before that. She is set to inherit a program made more relevant by the Indiana Fever star during the last four years.

It remains to be seen what version of the Hawkeyes Jansen will get once the new NCAA season starts. Nevertheless, Clark’s endorsement of her is more than enough to steady the ship now that Bluder is gone.
