Amaka Agugua-Hamilton no longer coach at Virginia

Virginia parted ways with Amaka Agugua-Hamilton as its head women’s basketball coach after four seasons.

The university announced the news Saturday about Agugua-Hamilton, who helped the Cavaliers become the initial First Four team to advance to the Sweet 16 of the Women’s NCAA Tournament after defeating seventh-seeded Georgia 82-73 in overtime in the first round, then upsetting second-seeded Iowa 83-75 in double overtime in the second round.

Virginia’s season came to an end after dropping a 79-69 decision to third-seeded TCU on March 28.

The Cavaliers, who finished 20-12 this season, posted a 70-58 record with a 29-42 mark in ACC play under Agugua-Hamilton.

The university issued a brief statement on Saturday, saying only that she will not return to the role and that a national search will begin immediately.
