Carolyn Peck, a distinguished figure in women's basketball, initially joined ESPN in 2001 and resumed her role in 2007 as a versatile basketball analyst covering men’s and women’s college basketball, NBA, and WNBA games. After coaching at Vanderbilt University for the 2017-2018 season, she made a triumphant return to ESPN and SEC Network, where she serves as an analyst for women’s college basketball coverage.
One of the most accomplished figures in women’s basketball, Peck achieved a historic turnaround as the head coach at the University of Florida, orchestrating the program's greatest one-season improvement in 2003-2004. Prior to taking the helm at Florida, Peck was the head coach of the former WNBA franchise Orlando Miracle for three seasons (1999-2001), a stint that included a trip to the 2000 WNBA playoffs.
Peck won the 1999 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship as head coach of the Purdue Boilermakers, becoming the first African-American women coach to do so, while also earning many coach-of-the-year honors. In addition, Peck has served as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1997 and 2004), the University of Tennessee (1993-95) and the University of Kentucky (1995-96).
A former basketball player at Vanderbilt, Peck averaged 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds a game. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications.
