Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the background experiences and current status of women intercollegiate basketball coaches in the state of North Carolina. Subjects were thirty coaches of women's basketball teams from institutions of higher learning as listed by the North Carolina State Department of Public Learning. Five of these thirty coaches were male. Data were collected using a forced choice questionnaire devised by the investigator. The instrument was constructed in order to provide answers to three framing questions : (a) what was the specific coaching and academic preparation of these women's sports leaders, (b) what were the prior competitive sport experiences of the coaches, and (c) what is the nature of these coaches' current coaching assignments? The data indicated the respondents had a limited background in coaching preparation. The primary means of obtaining knowledge in coaching was attendance in clinics, both specific basketball clinics and general coaching clinics. A secondary means was attendance in basketball and general coaching courses which was reported by one-half of the subjects. All of the coaches participated in basketball. One-half of these subjects had done so for five to nine seasons.
