February 3 Connecticut women's coach Geno Auriemma becomes the fastest coach to 900 wins in college basketball history at any level, following the Huskies' 96–36 home blowout of Cincinnati. Auriemma reached 900 wins in 1,034 games; the previous record was 1,072 by Pat Summitt, while the record in men's basketball is 1,183 games by Krzyzewski. Auriemma also becomes the first man ever to reach the 900-win mark in NCAA women's basketball; the previous six coaches to do so are all women. WNBA star Diana Taurasi announces that she will sit out the 2015 season at the behest of her Russian club, UMMC Ekaterinburg. The club, which already has her under contract for about US$1.5 million a season, is reportedly paying her more than the WNBA maximum salary of $107,000 as a bonus to skip the WNBA season. February 7 – Herb Magee, coach at NCAA Division II Philadelphia University since 1967, becomes the second NCAA men's coach with 1,000 career wins following the Rams' 80–60 win over Post.
