UI women's basketball: Who's next?

Basketball beat writer Scott Richey’s list of possible candidates to replace Matt Bollant, who was fired Tuesday:

Courtney Banghart
Princeton head coach
Banghart has never coached outside of the Ivy League (four seasons as an assistant at Dartmouth, 10 at Princeton), but she’s also had success on the court few Ivy programs do. Banghart is 208-85 at Princeton and was the 2015 Naismith Coach of the Year after a 30-0 regular season that saw the Tigers ranked as high as 13th nationally.

Jennie Baranczyk
Drake head coach
The tough task would be pulling the Des Moines, Iowa, native away from home, but Baranczyk has a résumé perhaps worth trying that.
