Maryland’s Brenda Frese was named Big Ten women’s basketball Coach of the Year on Monday by both her peers and the league’s media panel.
Frese led the No. 7 Terps (21-2, 17-1 Big Ten) to the Big Ten regular-season title for the sixth time in seven seasons. Last month, she surpassed Chris Weller to become the school’s all-time winningest coach with her 500th career victory at Maryland.
This is Frese’s fourth Big Ten Coach of the Year honor, having previously won in 2002, 2015 and 2019. She was also named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2013, Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year in 2000 and Associated Press National Coach of the Year in 2002.
