WKU women’s basketball has lost one of the best coaches the program has ever seen.

Michelle Clark-Heard is headed north to take on the head coaching role at the University of Cincinnati after seemingly hitting the ceiling at WKU.

In six seasons at the helm of WKU, Clark-Heard’s two Conference USA regular season championships, three C-USA Tournament championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances were rewarded with just one raise.
