Kathy Delaney-Smith
Former Harvard Women’s Basketball Coach
The winningest head coach in Ivy League history, Kathy Delaney-Smith retired at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season after 40 years with Harvard basketball. Delaney-Smith has put Harvard basketball on the map and expanded its reach both nationally and internationally as one of the longest tenured coaches in collegiate women’s basketball. Delaney-Smith owned a 40-year coaching record at Harvard of 630-434 with a 367-168 record in Ivy League play. Those marks include 12 20-win seasons, 11 Ivy titles, a .500 record or better in 31 of her last 33 campaigns and 16 postseason appearances. Her 630 career wins and 367 Ivy League victories are the most of any head coach – men’s or women’s – in the Ivy League. Delaney-Smith, one of four Division I head coaches to spend 40-plus years at one institution, passed Princeton’s Pete Carril (514) in overall victories during the 2013-14 season.
