With the University of Cincinnati band, cheerleaders and Bearcat on hand along with numerous well-wishers and family, Katrina Merriweather was introduced as the 10th-ever women's basketball coach at her alma mater.
With a record of 151-70 as a head coach at both Wright State and Memphis, Merriweather will be UC's first women's coach as they enter the Big 12 with high aspirations.
Merriweather just led Memphis to a 22-11 record and the Sweet 16 of the WNIT. In her first year with the Tigers, she went 16-12 after inheriting a team that won just four games the previous season.
