BYU Women’s Basketball Parts Ways with Head Coach Amber Whiting After Three Seasons
The program faces challenges in finding a new coach, including institutional priorities and a limited candidate pool.
- Amber Whiting departs BYU after a 45-51 record over three seasons, with no winning campaigns during her tenure.
- BYU struggled in its inaugural Big 12 season, finishing 13-17 overall and 4-14 in conference play.
- The search for a new coach may be complicated by BYU's preference for candidates familiar with LDS culture and its unclear financial commitment to the women's basketball program.
- Interim head coach Lee Cummard, a former BYU player and assistant coach, will temporarily lead the team.
- Retaining standout freshman Delaney Gibb, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, will be a key priority for the next head coach.
