2017-18 D1 WBB Female Head Coaches

I hate stories written about the low number of female head coaches in D1 women's college basketball, and the misleading stats the writers use in those stories to back up their narrative! 

This recent story in Newsday, made me crunch the actual numbers for D1 WBB Head Coaches!!  The story mentions how in the Big East, which has 10 schools, there is only one female head coach.  A terrible ratio, but nobody can doubt the great job Doug Bruno, Tony Bozzella, and Joe Tartamella have done at their Big East schools.  Then the writer says " just 38.8 percent of NCAA Division I women’s teams have a female head coach"  She is using the stats for ALL women's teams in NCAA D1, instead of using stat just for D1 women's basketball.

So, I crunched the numbers and came up with 60% of D1 women's basketball teams are led by a female head coach!  I went to wikipedia's D1 WBB Head Coach's page.  While there is one school, UTSA, that hasn't been updated with their new head coach, all other schools are current and update on that site. The new female HC at UTSA is part of the 210 female HC's for D1.

Totals- 349 D1 schools- 211 with female HC, 137 with male HC, 1 school with co HC-male and female. 210 female HC's divided by 348 schools is 60%!
