Coach Dunn of the Indiana Fever
Women in sports are taking charge! We’re thrilled to have the dyamic and entertaining coach of the Indiana Fever as our guest. She’ll inform and inspire you on the history of women’s basketball and the exciting future it presents for so many women and girls. The opportunity is NOW!
Regarded as one of the most successful women’s basketball coaches in history, Lin Dunn was named on Dec. 12, 2007, as the fourth head coach in Indiana Fever history.
Then the owner of 525 wins as a college and professional coach, Dunn shed the assistant title she had worn the previous four seasons in Indiana in order to return to the head coaching ranks. She is well-chronicled as one of the nation’s foremost pioneers of women’s basketball, and one of its most prominent coaches and leaders.
Dunn’s coaching resume includes four decades of coaching at the highest levels – the past 10 years in the professional ranks, between stints in Portland, Seattle and Indiana. Prior to her four seasons as a Fever assistant, Dunn served as head coach and general manager of the Seattle Storm, operating the city’s expansion franchise from 1999 to 2002.
