Shirley Duncan’s 22 Years as Longwood Women’s Basketball Coach Set Stage for Lancers' Success
Coach Shirley Duncan (1983-2005) coached nine All-Americans, earned four trips to the NCAA Division II tournament, and is the winningest basketball coach in Longwood University history. Before college coaching, the Lexington Kentucky native and UK graduate taught and coached in Northern Virginia. She headed back to the Bluegrass State to lead Eastern Kentucky for four years where she won a state title and faced off against a young Tennessee coach in the late Pat Summitt.
