Barbara Stevens, currently the Division II Women's Basketball Coach at Bentley University, has the most victories out of any coach in Women's Division II Basketball History. On Dec. 19, 2010, Stevens became the fifth coach in NCAA Women's Basketball History to reach the 800- career win milestone. She joined Pat Summit, Jody Conradt, C. Vivian Stringer and Sylvia Hatchell in the elite 800-win club.
Stevens finished her 2010-11 season, her 34th as a head coach, with a record of 821-240, including 664-149 with the Bentley Falcons. This year her team enters the 2012-11 season ranked #2 in the Nation.
Stevens received the ultimate honor in April 2006 when she was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn. She was also inducted into the Bentley Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.
Coach Stevens is an amazing coach and a very hard working woman that has inspired many of her players to become coaches. Lauren Moore, a Bentley Alumni and former player of Stevens, stated proudly, "I went to Bentley to become a college coach. I didn't go there to get a business degree like everyone else. I wanted to go to Bentley to learn from Coach Stevens."
Stevens outworks every one of her peers and that is why she is the most successful coach in NCAA Division II Women's Basketball History.
