C. Vivian Stringer hit the 1,000-victory mark on Tuesday. So what's next? At age 70, Stringer shows no signs of wanting to step away from her life's work of coaching women's basketball.
"I'm happy and grateful that I have the opportunity to continue to somehow shape the lives of these young women," Stringer said prior to Rutgers' 73-44 victory over Central Connecticut State on Tuesday in Piscataway, New Jersey.
The Scarlet Knights are 3-0 this season. Stringer signed a contract extension a year ago that extends her deal through the 2021 season.
"I've always had it in my mind that you have to demonstrate and earn respect," Stringer said, reflecting on her career.
