Linda Hargrove begins second stint Friday as Wichita State women’s coach

After four days with her basketball team, Linda Hargrove coaches the Wichita State women on Friday night at Indiana State.

Hargrove, who headed the Shocker program from 1989-98, takes over for the rest of the season after Jody Adams-Birch was relieved of her duties last week following an investigation by athletic director Darron Boatright. Boatright has not commented on the substance of the investigation, but sources told The Eagle it involved the transfer of sophomore Ellie Lehne from the program.

Boatright asked Hargrove, 66, last weekend to head the program for the rest of the season. Hargrove had her first practice with the team Monday.
