This afternoon the Virginia Cavaliers’ Athletic Department announced the firing of the women’s basketball Head Coach Tina Thompson. Over four seasons — including a five-game, winless 2020 campaign — Thompson led the ‘Hoos to a disappointing 30-63 overall record and a 15-38 standing in ACC play.
Virginia lost to Wake Forest in the first round of the ACC Tournament, 61-53 which put a cap on UVA’s season and likely sealed Thompson’s fate.
After the 2020-2021 season was canceled after those five contests for health and safety concerns, Thompson had her worst year yet in her fourth season.
