MADISON – When it came time to hire a new women’s basketball coach, Wisconsin director of athletics Chris McIntosh went with experience.
Robin Pingeton, who spent the past 15 seasons as the head coach at Missouri, is the ninth coach in program history. She takes over for Marisa Moseley, who resigned earlier this month after four seasons.
Pingeton had a 250-218 record at Missouri. Her teams made 10 postseason tournaments, including four NCAA appearances.
She also served as a head coach at Illinois State and St. Ambrose. In 30 years as a head coach she has won 585 games with 20 postseason appearances.
