Nancy Funk spent 31 season as the head coach of the Johns Hopkins women's basketball program.

Funk compiled a 537-264 record during her time at Homewood, including a 287-76 record in Centennial Conference play. Including her time as the head coach Messiah, Funk has a record of 638-328 in 37 years as a collegiate head coach. She ranks sixth among active coaches and ninth all-time in career victories by an NCAA Division III women's basketball coach.

In addition to ranking as the winningest coach in school history, Funk has won more Centennial Conference games, more Centennial Conference Tournament games (19) and more NCAA Tournament games (13) than any coach in league history.

Johns Hopkins has won four Centennial Conference titles, played in the Centennial title game 14 times and appeared in the conference tournament 18 times since the league was formed in 1993.

Funk's Blue Jays have parlayed the success at the conference level to the national level as Johns Hopkins has made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances with two trips to the NCAA Quarterfinals (1997, 1998) and one other trip to the Sweet 16 (1995) under her guidance.

With the overwhelming success of the team has come the individual honors and awards. Funk has coached five All-Americans, two Naismith Award winners, two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients, one Academic All-American, a record 21 First Team All-Centennial selections and four Centennial Players of the Year.

In addition to her exploits as the Blue Jay women's basketball coach, Funk also spent six years as the Johns Hopkins women's tennis coach from 1986-1992 and compiled a record of 35-32.
