New 4-year contract for C. Vivian Stringer at Rutgers? Sounds that away

Even at 68 years old, C. Vivian Stringer is in it for the long haul.

Rutgers and the Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach are in talks about a new four-year contract that would tack an additional two years onto the two she has remaining, according to athletics director Pat Hobbs.

“I’m 100 percent committed to Vivian,” Hobbs told Gannet New Jersey.

“Just two years ago, we won the WNIT. Obviously this season wasn’t what we wanted in terms of results, but you had two of our players get picked in the WNBA Draft. I don’t think Vivian has lost anything on her fastball, and we just need to support her.
