Jody Adams-Birch has been replaced as Wichita State women’s basketball coach for home games Friday and Sunday while athletic director Darron Boatright reviews “information recently received about the women’s basketball program,” he said in a statement.
The recent decision of sophomore Ellie Lehne to transfer started events that led to the decision, several sources close to the program said.
Lehne met with Boatright to discuss her transfer and her teammates joined her on Tuesday to discuss the overall atmosphere of the team, according to the sources. The players boycotted practice that day, the sources said.
Lehne, from Bryon, Ill.
