University of Cincinnati Director of Athletics John Cunningham announced on Tuesday that women’s basketball head coach Michelle Clark-Heard will not return.
A national search for the next Cincinnati women’s basketball coach will begin immediately.
“I want to thank Coach Clark-Heard for her dedication to our women’s basketball program over the last five years,” Cunningham said. “We appreciate all of the time and effort she gave to our student-athletes and our university.
“Our history, recent facility upgrades, continued investment and future in the Big 12 make this a very attractive job. Cincinnati women’s basketball can be a contender for championships and we are going to do everything we can to get this program among the best in our new league. We will find the right fit to lead our program and develop our young women on and off the floor.”
Clark-Heard led the Bearcats for five seasons and finished with a record of 74-75.
