Bonnie Henrickson (born April 13, 1963)[1] is the former head women's college basketball coach at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

When playing at SCSU, she helped win three Northern Sun Conference championships and advance to three NCAA Division II quarterfinals.

She earned her master's degree in Physical Education in 1988 from Western Illinois University while holding the position as a graduate assistant coach with the women's basketball team.

With the best postseason effort by the Jayhawks since 1998, Henrickson guided Kansas to a 21–13 record during the 2011–12 season and NCAA Tournament victories over Nebraska (57–49) and Delaware (70–64), before falling to Tennessee in the Sweet 16.

All-America honorable mention, All-Big 12 Second Team selection and the nation's assist leader Angel Goodrich led the way for the Jayhawks during the NCAA Tournament.

KU also had All-America honorable mention and All-Big 12 First Team honoree Carolyn Davis for the first 23 games, before a knee injury sidelined her for the remainder of the season.

Kansas saw much of its success through Davis, a sophomore at the time, who averaged a team-leading 19.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game on her way to First Team All-Big 12 accolades.

Additionally, KU saw the return from injury of Goodrich, who averaged 7.5 points, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game on her way to being named a finalist for the V Foundation Comeback Award.

Jayhawk senior guard Danielle McCray was named the 2009 Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year and was well on her way to All-America honors prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury in early February.

The Jayhawks struggled early in Big 12 Conference play, opening with a 2–9 mark versus league opponents, before turning the corner.

After becoming one of 12 players chosen for the team, she traveled to Belgrade, Serbia for the 2009 World University Games where she helped lead the US to the gold medal.

Henrickson's young Jayhawk squad in 2006–07, consisting of seven freshmen and just two seniors, came on strong at the end of the year, winning five of their last seven games.

A resurgence in Jayhawks' women's basketball was quite evident throughout the 2005–06 season as Henrickson's second campaign was capped off with a berth to the WNIT – KU's first postseason appearance since 2000.

The USA team won their opening two games easily, including a mismatch against South Africa with a final score of 140–32, but lost against Ukraine, 81–70.

After falling behind early, the USA team kept the game close, and got within five points with under two minutes to go, but Spain held on to win the gold medal.

Kelly Schumacher grabbed an offensive rebound and scored to bring the lead back to five points and the team held on for the win.
