Who is Sonja Hogg?

Sonja Hogg (born December 20, 1945) former women's basketball head coach at Louisiana Tech University and Baylor University.

She posted an overall record of 307–55 at Louisiana Tech. Her overall record at Baylor for all years was 83–91. Her combined overall record for her entire coaching career was 390–146.

When Hogg began putting together the team, she nicknamed it the "Lady Techsters." She felt the school's longtime nickname of Bulldogs was unfeminine, and disliked the idea that her players might be called "bitches" (a term for female dogs).

She won the 1981 Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women title, beating Tennessee to finish the season undefeated at 34–0. Her team won the first NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) women's title in 1982. From 1982 to 1985, she was co-head coach with her former top assistant, Leon Barmore, and completely turned over the reins to Barmore in 1985. Hogg coached at Deer Park High School from 1986 to 1988. She came out of retirement in 1994, and coached at Baylor for six years.

In 1986, Hogg was inducted into the Louisiana Tech University Athletic Hall of Fame. She received the 2004 Women's Naismith Outstanding Contribution to Basketball Award. In 2009, she was inducted to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, located in Knoxville, Tennessee. In June 2009, she was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
