Milestones and records

Conference membership changes

The 2014–15 season will see the final wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences.

Regular season

Early season tournaments

*Although these tournaments include more teams, only the number listed play for the championship.

Conference winners and tournaments

Thirty-one athletic conferences each end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. The winners of these tournaments receive automatic invitations to the 2015 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament. The Ivy League does not have a conference tournament, instead giving their automatic invitation to their regular season champion.

Award winners

All-America teams

The NCAA has never recognized a consensus All-America team in women's basketball. This differs from the practice in men's basketball, in which the NCAA uses a combination of selections by the Associated Press (AP), the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the Sporting News, and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) to determine a consensus All-America team. The selection of a consensus team is possible because all four organizations select at least a first and second team, with only the USBWA not selecting a third team.

However, of the major selectors in women's basketball, only the AP divides its selections into separate teams. The women's counterpart to the NABC, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), selects a single 10-member (plus ties) team, as does the USBWA. The NCAA does not recognize Sporting News as an All-America selector in women's basketball.

With that in mind, the following players were named to at least two of the three major teams:

"Consensus" All-Americans
Player Position Class School AP[40] USBWA[41] WBCA[42]
Brittany Boyd G Senior California 2nd — Yes
Nina Davis F Sophomore Baylor 1st Yes Yes
Moriah Jefferson G Junior Connecticut 2nd Yes Yes
Samantha Logic PG Senior Iowa 3rd Yes Yes
Jewell Loyd G Junior Notre Dame 1st Yes Yes
Kelsey Mitchell G Freshman Ohio State 2nd Yes —
Tiffany Mitchell G Junior South Carolina 1st Yes Yes
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis F Senior Connecticut 2nd Yes Yes
Breanna Stewart PF/SF Junior Connecticut 1st Yes Yes
Elizabeth Williams F/C Senior Duke 2nd Yes Yes
Amanda Zahui B. C Sophomore Minnesota 1st Yes Yes

FIU Cindy Russo Inge Nissen Marlin Chinn Russo announced her resignation during her 36th season at FIU on January 22, effective immediately.

Georgia Andy Landers Joni Crenshaw On March 16, Women's Basketball Hall of Fame member Landers announced his retirement.

Lafayette Dianne Nolan Theresa Grentz On March 26, Nolan announced her retirement after five seasons at Lafayette and 38 seasons overall. She finishes with a 575–509 overall record, with 456 of those wins coming during her 28 seasons at Fairfield.[56] Lafayette hired Women's Hall of Fame coach Grentz, who returned to college head coaching after an eight-year absence.[57]
North Texas Mike Petersen Jalie Mitchell On March 10, Petersen was fired after three seasons with a 28–61 record, ending with a 5–24 season in which UNT failed to make the Conference USA tournament.[58] The Mean Green hired Mitchell, their career leading scorer, after she served three seasons as an assistant at Texas.[59]
Pacific Lynne Roberts Roberts left for the Utah job.[60]
Rice Greg Williams Tina Langley Williams announced his retirement on March 17 after 10 seasons at his alma mater.[61] Like fellow C-USA member FIU, Rice hired a Maryland assistant in Langley.[62]
Stephen F. Austin Brandon Schneider Schneider left for the Kansas job.[63]
Utah Anthony Levrets Lynne Roberts Levrets was fired after five seasons and a 78–87 overall record, with a 9–21 overall and 3–15 Pac-12 record in 2014–15.[64]
