HEAD COACH GENE ROEBUCK<br />

Since Gene Roebuck was hired as the<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong>’s women’s basketball<br />

coach in June 1987, he built the<br />

Fighting Sioux program into a Division II<br />

powerhouse, along the way becoming the<br />

winningest coach in DII women’s basketball<br />

history (.857 winning percentage).<br />

Now, entering his 22nd season at UND<br />

and having conquered the DII landscape,<br />

Roebuck’s new challenge is to lead the<br />

Fighting Sioux into the world <strong>of</strong> Division I<br />

women’s basketball.<br />

The Sioux, who went 27-4 and earned a<br />

22nd appearance (19th consecutive) in the<br />
