Hillsman, in his 11th season as head coach at Syracuse, has posted a 230-121 record (65.5 percent winning percentage).
He has taken the Orange women’s basketball program to heights it had previously never reached.

The highlight was last season’s improbable run by the Orange to the women’s national championship game. During that tournament, the Syracuse women’s team advanced to its first Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four, and national final in program history.
