Former Ohio State Women’s Basketball Coach Nancy Darsch, Who Led Buckeyes To Lone Finals Appearance, Dies At 68 Former Ohio State women’s basketball head coach Nancy Darsch, who led the Buckeyes to their greatest run through the NCAA tournament in program history, died Monday after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. We are saddened to hear of the passing of former Ohio State Head Coach Nancy Darsch. We extend our condolences to her family during this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/NPe1jAEW8v — Ohio State WBB (@OhioStateWBB) November 3, 2020 Darsch took over as head coach for Ohio State in 1985 and coached the team from 1986-97. During her tenure, she amassed a 234-125 record and coached the Buckeyes to four Big Ten championships and seven NCAA tournament appearances. One of those seven appearances was in 1993, where Darsch’s team, led by then-freshman guard Katie Smith, made it all the way to the final to face off against Texas Tech, where the Buckeyes fell 84-82 behind a 47-point effort from Sheryl Swoopes. Darsch was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame on Sept. 25, 2014. Following the 1996 season, Darsch moved up to the professional level, becoming head coach of the New York Liberty, who played and won in the first ever WNBA game against the Los Angeles Sparks 67-57. Her team made it all the way to the championship game in that inaugural season, but fell to the Houston Comets 65-51. Past her time at both Ohio State and the WNBA, Darsch was also an assistant coach for the USA Olympic team in 1984 and 1996, which took place in Los Angeles and Atlanta, respectively. Both of those teams went on to win the gold medal.

Information on All Trailblazers of the Game
Trailblazers of the Game The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to present this special recognition to the following groups that have added to the rich history of women’s basketball The All American Red Heads • The All American Red Heads played for 50 years from 1936-1986, which is still the longest running women’s professional team. • The Red Heads were founded by Mr. & Mrs. C.M. Olson in Cassville, Missouri. • C.M. Olson was the former coach/owner of a male exhibition basketball team called Olson’s Terrible Swedes. Known for their on-court antics, this inspired C.M. Olson’s wife, Doyle, and the women who worked in her beauty salons to form a women’s professional exhibition team. • In 1954, Coach Orwell Moore and his wife Lorene “Butch” Moore bought the Red heads and moved the team to Caraway, Arkansas. • Lorene Moore played on the team for eleven years, scoring 35,426 points during her career. • The Red Heads were so popular that during the years 1964-1971 there may have been as many as three Red Head teams traveling the country. • In 1972, the Red Heads won 500 out of 642 games played against men’s team. • Throughout the years the All American Red Heads played in all 50 states as well as Mexico, Canada, and the Philippines. • The team has been featured in national magazines such as Life, Look, Sports Illustrated and Women’s Sports, and they were widely considered as the greatest women’s basketball team in the world. • Coach Moore retired and disbanded the Red Heads in 1986 after 50 years of play • The All American Red Heads still have annual reunions.
