Head coaches
Coaching changes
On March 21, 2022, Sue Semrau announced her retirement after 24 seasons as head coach at Florida State.[3] She was succeeded by Seminoles associate head coach Brooke Wyckoff, who served as the interim head coach for the team during the 2020–21 season during Semrau's leave of absence.[4]
On March 26, 2022, Felisha Legette-Jack was announced as the head coach at Syracuse.[5] She took over from interim head coach Von Read.
On March 3, 2022 Virginia fired head coach Tina Thompson after four years as head coach and a 30–63 overall record.[6] On March 21, 2022, Virginia announced that Amaka Agugua-Hamilton would be the new head coach of the program.[7]
The Preseason Media Poll and Preseason All-ACC teams were released after a tipoff event held at the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 11, 2022.[16]
At the media day, both the head coaches and the Blue Ribbon Panel predicted that Louisville would be league champion. In prior seasons, the league released a poll of head coaches and a Blue Ribbon Panel poll, but this year those polls were combined. The votes from the league's head coaches counted twice in the combined poll.[17]
Note: The Coaches Poll releases a final poll after the NCAA tournament, but the AP Poll does not release a poll at this time.
