Lynette Woodard
Lynette Woodard (born August 12, 1959) is an American basketball player and former head women's basketball coach at Winthrop University. She is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Woodward played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks. She was a member of the United States women's 1984 basketball team that won the gold medal. She became the first female member of the Harlem Globetrotters in 1985. At age 38, she began playing as one of the oldest members in the newly formed American professional Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in 1997.
Woodward led Wichita North High School to state basketball championships in 1975 and 1977. She scored 1,678 points and collected 1,030 rebounds in just 62 high school games in three seasons.
Woodard went on to play college basketball with the University of Kansas (KU) in 1978, playing there until 1981 in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) era of college basketball. She was a four-time All-American at KU, and averaged 26 points per game and scored 3,649 points in total during her four years there, and was the first KU woman to be honored by having her jersey retired. Before being passed by Caitlin Clark in February 2024, Woodard was the unofficial major college basketball's career women's scoring leader, due to the National Collegiate Athletic Association not recognizing statistics from the AIAW.
In 1981, she was signed by an Italian team, UFO Schio (Vicenza), to participate in their league.
In 1984, she was a member of the United States women's basketball team that won the gold medal at the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
In 1985, Woodard became the first woman ever to play with the Globetrotters. (Woodard's cousin, Hubert "Geese" Ausbie, played for the Globetrotters from 1961 to 1985.)
In 1989, she was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame. In 1990, she was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, and was signed by a Japanese women's team to play in their country. She played there until 1993. She served as athletics director for the Kansas City, Missouri, school district from 1992 to 1994.[citation needed]
