After 12 seasons, Penn State has finally decided to move on from women’s basketball coach Coquese Washington.
The athletic department announced Friday afternoon that her contract would not be renewed. Washington had just one winning season over her last five.
“We both agree that the program is not where it needs to be,” Penn State Athletic Director Sandy Barbour said in a written statement, “and this change of leadership is best at this time.”
A national search will begin immediately for her replacement and the search firm Ventura Partners will assist the university.
This is a breaking news story.
