Missouri women’s basketball head coach Robin Pingeton has announced her departure from the program at the end of the 2024-25 season after 15 years at the helm. Under her leadership, Pingeton amassed a 249-216 record, achieving 10 postseason appearances, including four NCAA Tournament berths. She expressed gratitude for the community support and looks forward to new opportunities, commending Athletic Director Laird Veatch for his backing.
“After a lot of reflection, I have decided it’s time for a new voice to lead Mizzou Women’s Basketball,” Pingeton said in a statement released by Mizzou. “This is a decision I arrived at after initiating conversations with Laird Veatch, and I am incredibly grateful for his leadership and support throughout this process. I love Columbia, Mizzou and the amazing community that has supported my family and this program for so many years. This is the end of this chapter. I’m looking forward to the next one.”
Pingeton’s tenure highlighted notable victories, including a historic win over No. 1 ranked South Carolina in 2021, marking a milestone for the program. Veatch praised Pingeton’s impact on and off the court, emphasizing her commitment to player development and competitive success. A national search for her successor is underway as the Tigers continue their current season with upcoming games against Arkansas and Vanderbilt.
