NJIT- Atlantic Sun

Departed coach/record: Steve Lanpher, 6 seasons (55-124 overall, 7-35 in the A-Sun)

Season-by-season record:
2012-13: 16-15 (6-2)
2013-14: 8-12 (0-0)*
2014-15: 12-17 (0-0)*
2015-16: 4-26 (1-13)
2016-17: 11-19 (4-10)
2017-18: 4-26 (2-12)
*NJIT was an independent school so did not have any conference games

Reason for departure: NJIT was in a very unique situation when Lanpher took over. While the school became a fully enrolled D1 program in 2009, there was no conference that would take them. They ultimately joined the Great West Conference, a conference that despite it’s name took a number of schools from all over the country. After Lanpher’s first season, the GWC disbanded and NJIT was independent for two seasons. They Highlanders have finally found a home in the A-Sun but Lanpher could never get the program moving in the right direction within the sneaky tough women’s basketball league.
