Wichita State announces coach Jody Adams-Birch won't return

WICHITA, Kan. -- Women's basketball coach Jody Adams-Birch will not return to Wichita State, the school announced Sunday.

Adams-Birch was replaced as the team's head coach Thursday as athletic director Darron Boatright reviewed the program. She missed games on Friday and Sunday.

Boatright said in a statement from the school that the two sides parted "mutually and amicably."

Linda Hargrove, the former WSU coach from 1989-98, will run the program for the remainder of the season, athletic director Darron Boatright said.

Adams-Birch was under an internal review after the 2015 season when four players transferred from the program.
