[edit]

Baranczyk began her coaching career in 2004 at Kansas State under Deb Patterson and helped Kansas State win the 2006 WNIT. From 2006 to 2010, Baranczyk was an assistant at Marquette under Terri Mitchell, including Marquette's 2008 WNIT title.[5] At Marquette, Baranczyk also helped with recruiting, game scheduling, opponent scouting, and public relations.[6] The first hire on the new coaching staff, Baranczyk then was an assistant at Colorado under Linda Lappe beginning on May 10, 2010.[4]

[edit]

On April 17, 2012, Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa hired Baranczyk as head women's basketball coach.[2] Drake went 11–20 in Baranczyk's first season and improved to 17–15 in the 2013–14 season. Baranczyk followed that season by leading Drake to a 20–11 record and the first round of the 2015 WNIT, the first postseason appearance in her tenure. In 2016, Drake improved to 23–10 and advanced to the second round of the WNIT.[5]

The 2016–17 season was the most successful in Baranczyk's tenure, as Drake reached a 28–5 record that included a program and Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) record 22-game winning streak and 18–0 MVC record, the first team in the MVC to go undefeated in conference play. Drake won its first conference title since 2008 and first outright title since 2000. Drake went on to win the MVC tournament for the first time since 2007 and qualified for the NCAA tournament.[5]

[edit]

Baranczyk was named head coach at Oklahoma on April 10, 2021, after nine years at Drake.[7] In her first three years, she has brought Oklahoma into the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She delivered a Big 12 Conference regular season championship to the Sooners in 2022–23, the program's first in 15 years. The next season, Baranczyk and OU won their second consecutive conference title, posting a 15–3 record in Big 12 play to win the title outright. She was named the Big 12's Coach of the Year in 2024 and coached Big 12 Player of the Year Skylar Vann and the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Payton Verhulst.

She became the first Oklahoma head coach to be named a National Coach of the Year finalist in each of their first three seasons.
