2018-19 Female Coaching Staffs

On Twitter @WbbTruths started a list of all female coaching staffs. With the help of @HPUCoachD, @heathervulin, @coacharnoldWC @crb20167 and some direct messages, we came up with a list of D1 schools with an All Female Coaching Staff.

Then we came up with a list of D1 schools with a male head coach and an all female assistant coaching staff.

There are many example of schools with a female head coach and one male assistant coach on the staff.   Cal, Michigan, Tulane, Northern Arizona, Fresno St., USD-San Diego, USF-San Francisco, UNLV, UCSB, and LMU.  That's just off the top of my head. I would bet, there are over 125 schools with a female head coach and only one male assistant coach.

If there are any schools that were missed, please contact me!
