Overview
- Virginia, which announced the move Saturday, said Amaka Agugua-Hamilton will not return and gave no reason.
- The athletics department said a national search for a new head coach begins immediately.
- The decision followed a postseason run from the First Four to the Sweet 16, a first in tournament history, that included a double-overtime upset at No. 2 seed Iowa.
- Agugua-Hamilton leaves after four seasons with a 70-58 record, including 29-42 in ACC games, and previously led Missouri State to the 2021 Sweet 16.
- Coaching changes often prompt transfers, and junior scoring leader Kymora Johnson is a key name to watch.
