BOSTON — Sure, there are the Ivy League-record 630 victories and the 11 conference championships and the six trips to the NCAAs — including the one that produced the biggest upset in the tournament’s history.

That’s not what Kathy Delaney-Smith’s players will remember from her 40 years as Harvard’s women’s basketball coach.

“Kathy’s had a long history of fighting for equity in sports, and fighting for opportunities for girls and women,” said Maura Healey, who played for Delaney-Smith and is now the Massachusetts Attorney General.

The winningest basketball coach in Ivy League history — men or women — Delaney-Smith will retire at the end of this season. That could come as soon as this Friday, when the fourth-seeded Crimson meet No. 1 Princeton in the conference tournament semifinals.

She will leave behind not just an unmatched resume but also a legacy of fighting for gender equity that began when Title IX was in its early stages.
