Carol Ross (born June 11, 1959) is an American college and professional basketball coach.

Ross has served as the head women's basketball coach for the University of Florida and the University of Mississippi, and also as the head coach of the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).

She is one of only two Ole Miss players to record more than 1,000 points, 500 assists and 250 steals in a career.

Presented with an offer to lead another SEC program in 1990, Ross became the head coach of the Florida Gators women's basketball team of the University of Florida.

Before Ross, the Gators were a perennial cellar dweller; with Ross, the Gators became the SEC's fourth team of ten.

1996

Arguably the Gators' best season under Ross was 1996–97, when the Gators posted a 24–9 record, advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, and earned their first-ever top-10 poll ranking, and DeLisha Milton was recognized as the best women's player in college basketball when she won the Wade Trophy.

2000

Her 2000–01 squad produced her best SEC finish – 11–3 and second place – while compiling an overall record of 24–6.

During her twelve seasons as the Gators' head coach, she coached multiple future WNBA players, including Vanessa Hayden, Merlakia Jones, DeLisha Milton-Jones, Murriel Page, Bridget Pettis, Tiffany Travis and Sophia Witherspoon, as well as future Gators head coach Amanda Butler.

The Gators finished among the top-25 in seven of her final nine seasons.

2002

At the time of her resignation in 2002, her Gators had compiled an overall win–loss record of 247–121 (.6712), averaging more than twenty wins per year, earning nine NCAA Tournament invitations.

2006

In her fourth and final season, 2006–07, Ole Miss won twenty regular season games for the first time in more than a decade, advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, and produced first-round WNBA Draft pick Armintie Price.

Ross resigned as the Ole Miss head coach following the 2006–07 season.

After the 2012 season, Ross was honored as the WNBA Coach of the Year Award.

In 2012 and 2013, the Sparks had the third-best and second-best regular season records, respectively, in the twelve-team WNBA.

2013

In her follow-up season in 2013, the Sparks posted an identical record of 24–10 and again finished second in the Western Conference.

The Sparks lost to the Phoenix Mercury, two games to one, in the Western Conference semifinals of the 2013 WNBA playoffs.
