Wichita State and women’s basketball coach Jody Adams-Birch have mutually agreed to part ways, Director of Athletics Darron Boatright announced on Sunday. Adams-Birch was suspended for WSU’s two weekend games while Boatright investigated information regarding the ninth year head coach and the women’s basketball program that was brought to his attention on Thursday.
“I would like to thank coach Kirk Crawford for his leadership during the weekend, and for his willingness to serve as head coach for the last two games,” Boatright said in a statement.
According to sources first reported by the Wichita Eagle, the investigation started when sophomore Ellie Lehne decided to transfer from WSU on Tuesday.
