Syracuse women’s basketball associate head coach Vonn Read has been named the acting head coach for the 2021-22 season following the resignation of Quentin Hillsman.

The announcement comes two days after Hillsman submitted his resignation and one month after The Athletic reported on alleged bullying and misconduct toward players throughout Hillsman’s tenure with Syracuse University.

Following the release of the article — in which The Athletic spoke with nine former players and 19 others, including managers and staff members — SU launched an external investigation to conduct a review of the women’s basketball program.
