Women's College Basketball: Major Firing Wave Hits UGA and UVA

Following a wave of controversy sparked by Geno Auriemma, both Georgia and Virginia have parted ways with their head coaches following the NCAA Tournament.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson and Virginia Cavaliers head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton have both been dismissed from their positions. Despite leading their teams to unexpected success and NCAA Tournament berths, the Bulldogs confirmed a "mutual parting of ways" for Abrahamson-Henderson, while UVA fired Agugua-Hamilton. Both coaches achieved milestones during their tenures, including UGA's first AP Top 25 ranking in years, but the firings mark a significant shift in the landscape of women's college basketball following the recent Final Four.
