More Than a Coach

Women's basketball coach Kathy Delaney-Smith has conquered barriers from Title IX to Ivy League titles to breast cancer. And she's not done yet.

“Everyone asks me when I’m going to retire, and I have my company line,” Delaney-Smith said. “It’s ‘when I’m not good, or when I don’t love it.’ And, right now, I’m okay—I have a lot of titles, so I can still say I’m okay, and I still love it.”

Looking forward, Delaney-Smith has one goal in mind.

“Let’s create a little more history somehow,” Delaney-Smith said. “That’s my plan.”

CORRECTION: December 19, 2013

An earlier version of this article misspelled the last name of Jess Gelman ’97 and incorrectly stated which Harvard women's basketball team she belonged to. In fact, she played for the team that went to Harvard’s first NCAA tournament, not the team that defeated Stanford.
