Another branch has grown on the C. Vivian Stringer coaching tree.
On April 6, the University of Washington hired former Iowa guard Tia Jackson as the head coach of its women's basketball team, replacing June Daughtery, who had been the Huskies' coach for the past 11 seasons.
Jackson heads to the Pacific Northwest from Duke, where she had been an assistant for the past two seasons under former coach Gail Goestenkors, who left for Texas last week.
The Hawkeyes finished 27-4 en route to the 1993 Women's Final Four during Jackson's junior year. She finished her Hawkeye career with 507 rebounds and 168 steals, which are 10th and seventh all-time respectively.
She also has WNBA experience; she played for a Phoenix Mercury squad coached by Cheryl Miller during the league's inaugural season.
