Melanie Balcomb led her teams to 15 NCAA tournaments in 16 seasons as head coach of Xavier & Vanderbilt. In 2017 she helped South Carolina dethrone UCONN on their way to the national championship. Balcomb's dad was a legendary high school coach in New Jersey and was later an assistant at Princeton for hall of fame coach Pete Carril.  Being around such great basketball minds at such a young age helped mold her into one of the great offensive minds in college basketball.
