Dan Burt is the head women's basketball coach at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and enters the 2026-27 season as the longest-tenured and winningest head coach in program history, beginning his 14th season in charge and his 20th year on the staff. A Pennsylvania native, Burt was appointed head coach on April 27, 2013, after serving seven seasons as an assistant at Duquesne. He is the only coach to take Duquesne women's basketball to the NCAA Tournament, and his rise included a fast start nationally: he reached 100 career victories in 149 games, a rate that ranked among the quickest in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
Burt became Duquesne's all-time wins leader on December 10, 2022, when the Dukes defeated Vermont for his 177th victory as head coach. His milestone run continued in 2023-24. Duquesne beat Richmond on January 24, 2024, for Burt's 100th Atlantic 10 win, and four days later he recorded his 200th career victory with a win over Loyola Chicago. By that point, he had already established himself as one of the most successful coaches the program and conference had seen, with repeated 20-win seasons, regular postseason appearances, and some of the best single-season records in school history.
