Just 18 days after announcing the release of Tina Thompson as the Virginia Cavaliers’ head coach of the women’s basketball program, Athletic Director Carla Williams made her choice for Thompson’s replacement.
Amaka “Mox” Agugua-Hamilton will be the sixth coach in program history and looks to replicate the success Debbie Ryan had through the 80s and 90s.
Coach Mox (TM pending) comes to Charlottesville after spending the last three years leading the Missouri State women’s program where she went 74-15 overall and an impressive 46-6 in Missouri Valley Conference play. Missouri State appeared in both the 2021 and 2022 NCAA Tournaments including making the Sweet 16 in 2021.
