Ronald Hughey Resigns as Houston Women's Basketball Head Coach After 11 Seasons

Hughey departs following a challenging season marked by injuries and a 13-game losing streak, with the program now searching for a new leader.

Ronald Hughey announced his resignation as head coach of the University of Houston women's basketball team after 11 seasons, effective immediately.
Under Hughey's tenure, the Cougars compiled a 140-195 overall record, including three WNIT appearances, but struggled in recent years, particularly in Big 12 play.
The 2024-25 season ended with a 5-25 record, including a 1-17 conference performance and a first-round loss to Colorado in the Big 12 tournament.
The team faced significant challenges this season, including injuries that left them with only six available players for extended periods during conference play.
Houston's athletic department has launched a national search for the program's seventh head coach, aiming to rejuvenate the team and pursue its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2011.
