Familiar names are headed to new places as women's college basketball coaching vacancies for 2021-22 continue to fill.

A week after Kim Mulkey announced she was leaving Baylor and heading to her home state to coach LSU, Atlanta Dream coach Nicki Collen was named the new coach of the Lady Bears.

Another of the high-profile jobs was filled April 10 when Oklahoma hired Jennie Baranczyk from Drake as its new women's basketball coach.

Baranczyk, 39, replaced Sherri Coale, who retired in March after 25 seasons with the Sooners.

Longtime UConn assistant Shea Ralph steps into her first head-coaching role, replacing Stephanie White at Vanderbilt.
