Shauna Green named Illinois women’s basketball head coach

Illinois has its new women's basketball coach.

The university announced Monday morning that Shauna Green will be the 10th head coach in program history.

Green spent the past six years at Dayton, where her team won five A-10 regular season titles and made four appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

“As we expected, our head coaching position attracted tremendous interest from imminently qualified candidates across the country – a testament to the reputation of the University of Illinois, the upward trajectory of Fighting Illini Athletics, and the hard work of our basketball student-athletes,” UI Director of Athletics Josh Whitman said in a statement.
