DEAL APPROVED: Caitlin Clark has formally re-signed with the Iowa Hawkeyes in response to the controversial remarks made by the Iowa coach.
Caitlin Clark had one of the best collegiate careers ever before she was selected to the Indiana Fever’s All-WNBA first team as a point guard. During her four seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Clark established herself. She led Iowa to two consecutive national championship trips and was named to an All-American team each year. In NCAA history,

she also surpassed Pete Maravich’s record for most points. Lisa Bluder, the former head coach of Iowa, accompanied Clark throughout her time in college. From 2000 to 2024, the three-time Big Ten Coach of the Year was a member of the Hawkeyes for twenty-four years. She didn’t reach the Final Four until Clark got there, but she did win her first and only Naismith College Coach of the Year award in 2019.

According to Fever beat reporter Scott Agness, Bluder has made the decision to join the Big Ten Network as an analyst for the next Big Ten Tournament, which is approaching March Madness. She will be collaborating with Shimmy Miller and Ashley Adamson. “Lisa Bluder, the head coach of Iowa WBB from 2000-2024, will be an analyst for Big Ten Network during the Big Ten Tournament this week in Indianapolis,” Agness posted to X.
