A few years later in 1977, a women's wheelchair basketball division was created in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA).

A few years later in 1977, a women's wheelchair basketball division was created in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA).

In December 2021, Trooper Johnson resigned as head coach of the women’s national team after current and former players alleged emotional misconduct. He said he would cooperate with a United States Center for SafeSport investigation, and believed there would not be any findings.
