| Baylor University Women’s Basketball head coach Kim Mulkey, is the only woman nominated as both a coach and a player. Mulkey, the only basketball coach to win a national championship as a head coach, assistant coach and player, has amassed a 484-93 record amidst her 17th season leading the Lady Bears. She is No. 2 nationally in winning percentage (.839), and owns the top winning percentage and win total in the Big 12 Conference. |

| Teresa Weatherspoon, a point guard at Louisiana Tech, was national player of the year in 1988 as she led the Lady Techsters to the NCAA championship before going on to win a gold medal with the U.S. team in the 1988 Olympics. Weatherspoon was an original member of the WNBA, earning five All-Star honors and leading the New York Liberty to three straight finals appearances. Weatherspoon later had a stint as coach at Louisiana Tech. |
