VCU Vice President and Director of Athletics Ed McLaughlin has announced that VCU Women’s Basketball Coach Beth O’Boyle will not coach for the remainder of the 2025-26 season and will not return to VCU.

“We want to thank Coach O’Boyle for her service to VCU and her dedication to our student-athletes. We will not renew her contract and she will not coach the remainder of the season. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors. We will begin a national search immediately,” said McLaughlin.
