Already this postseason, six power conference coaching jobs have opened — one in the Big Ten, two in the SEC and three in the Big 12. For a while, I’ve been chatting with women’s basketball insiders about what this coaching cycle will look like because big changes are coming with revenue sharing and financial units (multi-million dollar payments the NCAA awards to conferences in March Madness tournaments) hitting the sport within months of one another.

We’re committed to it,” Missouri athletics director Laird Veatch said. “It’s important. Women’s basketball is important. We want to do what it takes to be successful.”

The Missouri Athletic Department has chosen a sitting Big 12 coach as the main focus in its search for a new women’s basketball coach. The coach in question is Kansas State’s Jeff Mittie, who has been with the Wildcats since the 2014-15 season.

Missouri women’s basketball coach Robin Pingeton will step away at the end of the season, the university announced Wednesday.

The Wisconsin Badgers women's basketball team will have a new head coach next season. Marisa Moseley, who led the program since 2021, resigned just short of the completion of her fourth season. Associate head coach Margaret McKeon will serve as interim head coach.
