ROCK HILL, S.C. — University of Louisville women's basketball associate head coach Stephanie Norman was named to the A STEP UP Assistant Coaches Hall of Fame Class of 2024, the organization announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Class of 2024 will be inducted into the A STEP UP Assistant Coaches Hall of Fame on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in Charlotte, NC during the Symposium's Hall of Fame Induction Breakfast at the Hilton University Place Hotel. In 2019, A STEP UP, Inc. became the first to exclusively recognize NCAA men and women 'assistant' basketball college coaches with the distinction of the Hall of Fame honor at the inaugural induction ceremony hosted in Atlanta, Georgia. This year's A STEP UP Assistant Coaches Hall of Fame Class of 2024 includes coaches from the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, and Pac 12 Conferences.
Norman has spent the last 17 seasons with the Cardinals under head coach Jeff Walz. She has helped the Cardinals reach unprecedented success during her time at Louisville. Prior to her arrival, the Cardinals were 4-11 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and never advanced farther than the second round. In the 17 seasons with Norman on staff, the Cardinals have made 14 NCAA appearances, have an overall record of 40-14 and advanced to 12 Sweet 16's, eight Elite Eights and four Final Fours. The Cardinals have advanced to the last five Elite Eights, the only team in the country to do so. The Cardinals have made six-straight Sweet 16's, the third-longest active streak in the country.
The Cardinals have had 14-straight 20-win seasons, the fifth-longest active streak in the country. Norman helped the Cardinals capture a gold medal this past summer at the 2023 GLOBL JAM Tournament in Toronto and was named WBCA Assistant Coach of the Year during the 2020-21 season. During Louisville's 10-seasons in the ACC, the Cardinals have won the most conference games of any school and they are the only team to finish in the top-five of the league in each of those seasons.
Prior to her time at Louisville, Norman made stops at Vanderbilt, Oregon State, Oregon, Hawaii and British Columbia. Norman was a four-year letterwinner at Arizona State, serving as the Sun Devils' captain during junior and senior seasons.
