After Bluder's retirement, Iowa immediately named longtime associate head coach Jan Jensen as her replacement. As assistant to Bluder during her entire time at Iowa, Jensen previously was Bluder's assistant at Drake.

Last month, Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer retired after 38 years there. Stanford named Kate Paye as VanDerveer's successor.
