BYU women’s basketball head coach Amber Whiting announced Saturday that she will not be returning for the 2025-26 season as she and BYU have agreed to part ways.
Whiting took over the BYU women’s basketball program ahead of the 2022-23 season and served as head coach for the past three seasons. During Whiting’s time at the helm of the Cougar program she compiled an overall record of 45-51, including a 19-35 mark in conference matchups.
Leading BYU women’s basketball into the Big 12 Conference, her Cougar squad notched two ranked wins, knocking off the 18th-ranked Baylor Bears on Feb 10, 2024, and the No. 20 Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Feb. 15, 2025.
Under Whiting’s tutelage, four players earned conference honors, highlighted by the 2025 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Delaney Gibb and the 2023 WCC Defensive Player of the Year and BYU all-time rebounding leader, Lauren Gustin. Whiting also coached the nation’s second-ranked three-point shooter in Kailey Woolston during the 2023-24 season.
Her Cougar squad made two trips to the postseason, the WNIT in 2023 and the newly formed WBIT in 2024.
With Whiting’s departure, BYU women’s basketball associate head coach Lee Cummard will now serve as interim head coach.
