PISCATAWAY, N.J. (May 6, 2022) – Rutgers Athletics has secured the services of Collegiate Sports Solutions (CSS) to lead its national search for the next head women's basketball coach to replace Hall of Fame head coach C. Vivian Stringer, who announced her retirement in April. Assisting CSS founder and CEO Jeff Schemmel in the search is former head coach and longtime athletic director Debbie Yow.

"We are excited to partner with CSS and lean on their expertise in finding the next leader of our women's basketball program," said Athletic Director Pat Hobbs. "This is an exciting time for Rutgers Athletics across the board. There is a tremendous opportunity for the next head coach as our program has been in the trusted hands of a Hall of Famer in Coach Stringer for the past 25 years. We are looking for a proven winner, someone who has the grit, passion and determination to continue the winning tradition that has been a hallmark of Rutgers women's basketball."
