Courtney Rosholt Banghart (born May 11, 1978)[1] is an American basketball coach who is currently the head women's basketball coach at Princeton University. Prior to coaching at Princeton, she served as an assistant coach for four years at Dartmouth College.
Playing career
Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, Banghart graduated from Souhegan High School in Amherst, New Hampshire and Dartmouth College also in New Hampshire. As a guard, Banghart played for Dartmouth from 1996 to 2000, including the Dartmouth teams that won the 1999 and 2000 Ivy League titles.[2][3] She holds Dartmouth records for 3 pointers in a game, season, and career.[2]
Coaching career
From 2000 to 2003, Banghart was athletic director and head coach of the girls' basketball and girls' tennis teams at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia.[2]
As an assistant coach at Dartmouth, Banghart helped lead Dartmouth to two Ivy League Championships, and two NCAA appearances in 2005 and 2006. Dartmouth went 70-44 those seasons including 41-15 in Ivy League play.
In 2007, Banghart became the head coach for the Princeton Tigers. Since then, her teams have won five Ivy League outright championships from 2010 through 2015, and, as a result, appeared in five NCAA Women's Division I Tournaments and a sixth "at-large" appearance in 2016. Her 2014–15 team was one of the 32 remaining teams in the 2015 tournament.[4]
On February 3, 2017, against Dartmouth, her alma mater, Banghart notched her 200th win as a head coach.[5]
In April 2017, Banghart was selected to be an assistant coach for the 2017 USA Basketball Women's U23 National Team, which is composed of women, age 23 or younger, who are currently freshmen, sophomores or juniors in college.[6] The team competed in and won the inaugural U24 Four Nations Tournament in Tokyo, Japan.[7]
Recognition
In 2015, the United States Basketball Writers Association named Banghart as Coach of the Year.[8] Fortune named her one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders for "taking charge of a mediocre team that had never made the NCAA Tournament" while ensuring players met Princeton's academic standards.[9][10]
