Lisa Marie Bluder (née Geske, born April 16, 1961)[1] is the former head coach of the
Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball program. Formerly, she served as coach of St. Ambrose University and the Drake Bulldogs.
Bluder notably led Iowa to two NCAA national championship games, in 2023 and 2024. During this time, Bluder led the program through the Caitlin Clark era, which was characterized with an intense and explosive rise in popularity for NCAA Division I Women's Basketball, particularly due to Clark's play. The Hawkeyes lost to LSU in the former year and South Carolina in the latter.
On May 13th 2024, Bluder announced her retirement.[2]
