“We Are Like the Beatles”: Head Coach Lisa Bluder Talks About Sold-Out Arenas and Caitlin Clark’s Legacy at Iowa

Iowa’s star guard Caitlin Clark is under a lot of limelight. Especially now, when she is so close to the top spot of all-time scoring ranking. She is also eligible to join the professional leagues now. From winning gold medals in International leagues to breaking the biggest records of all time, Caitlin Clark has had a successful basketball career so far.

Following this, Iowa’s head coach Lisa Bluder cannot be prouder of her prodigy. Here is what she has to say about the unstoppable No. 22.

Lisa Bluder heaps praises for Caitlin Clark

After Iowa’s victory over Penn State, Bluder addressed the media to answer some questions. At this time, a reporter asked her what legacy will Caitlin Clark leave behind in Iowa once she becomes the lead scorer. To which the head coach replied, “I fully intend that she will be the leading scorer of all time. That’s amazing, but I think people are going to remember her not only for her scoring but her passing. She’s almost reached 1000 assists. I think there’s only five other players that have accomplished that.”

Clark is just 39 points away from breaking Kelsey Plum’s all-time scoring record. In addition to this, she only needs 5 more assists to reach the 1000 mark. Bluder further added, “Being an all-around player like that is amazing. The specialness of the way she scores, the logo 3’s, people are going to remember that. It’s just unique, and I also think people will remember how she has elevated our game. How she has been a role model for all these kids who love to watch her play.”

We embrace our fans. We have reserved seatings for our fans.”

Undeniably, Lisa Bluder is an amazing coach. The way she allows Caitlin to be herself and make way for her records is also clearly going to be in Iowa’s legacy.
