Cincinnati Lucks Out: Bearcats Hire Michelle Clark-Heard as new Women’s Basketball Head Coach

Cincinnati Athletic Director Mike Bohn has made an excellent choice for the Bearcats’ new women’s basketball coach.

The announcement of Michelle Clark-Heard’s hiring should be greeted by UC fans with enthusiasm. Clark-Heard has coached Western Kentucky to 4 NCAA Tournaments in her 6 seasons there. She won more than three-quarters of the games she coached for the Hilltoppers. She also brings a great familiarity with Cincinnati athletics, having served as a Bearcats assistant from 2002 through 2005.

The hiring of Michelle Clark-Heard has been greeted by many as an upgrade, a sentiment that is quite understandable considering her impressive resume.
