Lin Dunn (born May 10, 1947)[1] is an American women's basketball executive and former coach, who is currently a senior advisor with the Indiana Fever of the WNBA.

Dunn was abruptly fired at Purdue after the 1995-96 season, but resurfaced in the pros with the American Basketball League's Portland Power in 1996.

Her folksy southern personality was a hit in urbane Seattle, with fans often wearing Dunn masks and quoting her rustic aphorisms.

New superstars Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird led the team to the 2002 playoffs, where they were swept by the Los Angeles Sparks.

Dunn then resigned, leaving the path open for Anne Donovan to build a championship team just two seasons later.

[7] On February 14, 2022, Dunn left her role at Kentucky to become Interim General Manager of the Indiana Fever.

[9] In 1990, Dunn was the assistant coach for the USA National team at the World Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The team, behind the 22 point per game scoring of Teresa Edwards, won all eight contests, with only the win over Cuba decided by single digits.
