UGA and UVA Coaches Fired Amid College Basketball Chaos

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson and Virginia Cavaliers head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton have both been dismissed following a chaotic week in women's college basketball. Abrahamson-Henderson's departure was described as a mutual agreement, despite leading the Bulldogs to their first AP Top 25 ranking and an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Agugua-Hamilton, who was reportedly set for a mid-major head coaching role after accepting an assistant position elsewhere, is also out. The firings are part of a larger wave of instability sparked by Geno Auriemma's comments, which also saw two top 2026 recruits decommit and the transfer portal remain active.
