Cynthia Lynne Cooper-Dyke (born April 14, 1963) is an American basketball coach and former player who has won championships in college, in the Olympics, and in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).

She is considered by many as one of the greatest female basketball players ever.

1981

Cooper was named to represent the US at the 1981 William Jones Cup competition in Taipei, Taiwan, while still in high school.

The team won seven of eight games to win the silver medal for the event.

Cooper scored 2.8 points per game and recorded nine steals.

1982

Cooper was a four-year letter winner at guard for USC from 1982 to 1986.

1983

She led the Women of Troy to NCAA appearances in all four years, Final Four appearances in three of her four years, and back-to-back NCAA tournament titles in 1983 and 1984.

The Soviet team, had a 152–2 record in major international competition over the prior three decades, including an 84–82 win over the US in the 1983 World Championships.

The Soviets held the early edge, leading 21–19 at one time, before the US went on a scoring run to take a large lead they did not relinquish.

The final score was 83–60 in favor of the US, earning the gold medal for the US squad.

Cooper averaged 2.0 points per game.

1984

After the 1984 Championship, she briefly left school, but was persuaded to return.

She completed four years with USC, although she did not graduate.

1986

Cooper closed out her collegiate career with an appearance in the 1986 NCAA tournament championship game and a spot on the NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team.

Cooper ranks eighth on USC's all-time scoring list with 1,559 points, fifth in assists (381) and third in steals (256).

While Cooper was at USC, the Women of Troy compiled a record of 114–15.

Cooper was selected to represent the US at the inaugural Goodwill games, held in Moscow in July 1986.

North Carolina State's Kay Yow served as head coach.

The team opened up with a 72–53 win over Yugoslavia, and followed that with a 21-point win over Brazil 91–70.

The third game was against Czechoslovakia and would be much closer.

Cheryl Miller was the scoring leader in this game, scoring 26 points to help the US to a 78–70 victory.

The US faced Bulgaria in the semi-final match up, and again won, this time 67–58.

This set up the final against the Soviet Union, led by 7-foot-2 Ivilana Semenova, considered the most dominant player in the world.

Cooper continued to represent the US with the national team at the 1986 World Championship, held in Moscow, a month after the Goodwill Games in Moscow.

The US team was even more dominant this time.

The early games were won easily, and the semifinal against Canada, while the closest game for the US so far, ended up an 82–59 victory.

The Soviet team, having lost only once at home, wanted to show that the Goodwill games setback was a fluke.
