Rutgers dedicated its court to its former coach on Sunday before the team's game.
After 50 years in the Hall of Fame, the 74-year old retired. After spending time at Cheyney State and Iowa, she moved to Rutgers.
"I still can't believe that, I was stunned when I saw that, I still can't believe that," she said, wiping away tears.
Only a few schools have named their courts after women's basketball coaches, including Tennessee for Pat Summitt, NC State for Kay Yow, and Arkansas-Little Rock for Doug Bruno.
The four Division I women's basketball coaches who have won the most games are: Tara VanDerveer, Geno Auriemma, Pat Summitt and Howard.
Four times, Stringer made the Final Four. She was the first women's or men's basketball coach to take multiple teams to the national semifinals.
She led the Rutgers to three Big East regular-season titles. Last year, he was on leave.
Many former players gathered on the court to celebrate the dedication of it to her while she was in attendance.
A piece of the floor that her teams played on was given to her by Rutgers.
She told the crowd at halftime that when she's overwhelmed she just cries. I adore you all.
She won 20 or more games 37 times in her career. She was a member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The US Olympic team won a gold medal.
