BOULDER — Ceal Barry's impact on the University of Colorado, women's basketball and women's sports in general can't be overstated.
Barry, a member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the CU Sports Hall of Fame, produced numbers still unequaled in CU history.
In her 22 years at Colorado (1983-2005), she compiled a 427-242 record, a mark that still makes her the winningest coach in Colorado history. In that span, she led the Buff to four regular season Big Eight championships, four Big Eight tournament championships and one Big 12 tourney title. Colorado made 12 NCAA Tournament appearances under her guidance, reaching the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight three times.
