Overview
- The Cavaliers named Aaron Roussell head coach Tuesday, three days after firing Amaka Agugua-Hamilton.
- The school did not give a reason for the dismissal, and USA TODAY reported an internal investigation into alleged staff mistreatment.
- Star guard Kymora Johnson and starters Sa’Myah Smith and Gabby White have entered the transfer portal, creating immediate roster uncertainty.
- Roussell steered Richmond to a 148-72 record with three straight NCAA Tournament bids and two Atlantic 10 titles, including this year’s lone mid-major at-large berth.
- He becomes the first man to lead Virginia’s program, reflecting a wider shift of successful mid-major coaches to power-conference jobs this offseason.
