New Wichita State women’s basketball coach, Linda Hargove, speaks at the press conference on Monday afternoon about accepting the position at WSU. Hargrove will finish the season as head coach.
Former Wichita State women’s basketball coach Jody Adams-Birch turned the Shockers into a winning program.
From 2013-15, the Shockers won three consecutive Missouri Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships while making three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Adams-Birch’s career is stained by two investigations in 2015 and 2017, where her players complained about her extreme coaching tactics, ultimately leading to her departure.
“In-line of everything that has happened, there are a lot of those players that did well academically,” play-by-play radio announcer Steve Strain said.
