Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly announced he will retire after the 2026-27 season, ending a 39-year head-coaching career and 32 seasons with the Cyclones. When he took over in 1995, the program had struggled to attract fans; he built it into a nationally respected team and a consistent winner. Fennelly has a 656-335 record at Iowa State, with 24 NCAA Tournament appearances, and 822 career victories overall. He said he is announcing his plans now to give the program and its incoming athletics director time to prepare for the transition.
