Statement from Laird Veatch Regarding Katrina Merriweather

Statement from University of Memphis Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Laird Veatch
"Earlier today, head women's basketball coach Katrina Merriweather informed athletic department leadership and our team that she will be resigning to take a position at another institution. Coach Merriweather has been transparent with us throughout the process over recent days, and she arrived at her decision despite our significant efforts to retain her. She also indicated that this decision was entirely independent from the circumstances surrounding the end of our season. The process of identifying the next leader for Memphis Tiger Women's Basketball will begin immediately.
