The Rutgers Scarlet Knights women's basketball team is the intercollegiate women's basketball program representing Rutgers University–New Brunswick. The school competes in the Big Ten Conference in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Scarlet Knights play home basketball games at the Louis Brown Athletic Center on the university campus in Piscataway, New Jersey.
The Scarlet Knights began play in 1974, winning their first ever game against Princeton 76-60. In 1976, Theresa Shank Grentz was hired as head coach, becoming the first full-time female basketball coach. The Scarlet Knights won the AIAW National Tournament 83-77 over Texas at the Palestra with the help of Patty Coyle, who scored 30 points while being named MVP. In 2000, C. Vivian Stringer became the first coach to ever lead three different teams (including Rutgers) to the Final Four.
As of the end of the 2015-16 season, the Knights have had four head coaches and one interim coach.
