ALBANY, N.Y. — Lisa Bluder is probably known best as Caitlin Clark's coach. But while most credit for Iowa's success over the past two years has been heaped on the program's 6-foot superstar on the court, Clark and the other Hawkeyes players give credit to the 62-year-old mentor on the sideline. Bluder has been a head coach since 1983-84, all in the state of Iowa and the last 24 years at the University of Iowa. She's racked up 882 wins and has coached the Hawkeyes to eight straight 20-win seasons. Said Clark on Sunday: "Coach Bluder is a Hall of Fame coach."
