Washington State releases women’s coach June Daugherty

Washington State AD Patrick Chun announced Tuesday that June Daugherty will not return as the women’s basketball head coach for the 2018-19 season.

“Thank you to Coach June Daugherty for her years of service to Washington State University,” Chun said in a news release. “We appreciate everything she has done for our student-athletes, women’s basketball and this university.”

Chun did not give a reason for Daughterty’s departure.

Daugherty, 61, hired before the 2007-08 campaign, has guided the Cougars for the past 11 seasons, posting a combined 130-218 record, including three WNIT appearances.

In January, Daugherty took an indefinite leave of absence.
