Jim Foster will not return as head coach of the Buckeye women’s basketball program. Foster compiled a 279-82 record (.772) in 11 years as head coach and departs as the winningest coach in program history in terms of wins and winning percentage. This season he led Ohio State to an 18-13 overall record and tied for eighth in the Big Ten with a 7-9 mark.

A four-time Big Ten coach of the year, Foster recently completed his 35th year as a collegiate head coach, winning 783 games at St. Joseph’s, Vanderbilt and Ohio State. He is one of only two coaches – men’s or women’s at any level – to win at least 200 games at three different schools.
