Coaching Vacancies in Women's College Basketball

The Wisconsin women's basketball program has parted ways with head coach Marisa Moseley after four seasons amid accusations of mistreatment and poor performance, marking the first open coaching position in the Big Ten during the current cycle. Additionally, the Big 12 sees coaching vacancies at BYU, Arizona State, and Houston, with candidates such as Molly Miller and Nikki Blue being considered. In Missouri, Athletic Director Laird Veatch is spearheading the search for a new women's basketball head coach following Robin Pingeton's departure, emphasizing the need for a proven winner with strong recruiting skills and a commitment to the program's development. Veatch has stressed that Missouri is ready to invest more into the women's basketball program to enhance its competitiveness and capitalize on the sport's rising popularity. His comments reflect a strategic focus on turning around the struggling program through significant investment and recruitment of a capable coach.
