Kansas University women’s basketball coach Marian Washington is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the program she has coached for 31 years.
At a hastily convened Thursday afternoon news conference, Washington, who will be inducted into the National Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame this summer, would say only that the leave was for medical reasons.
She will be replaced in the interim by Lynette Woodard, one of KU’s three assistant coaches.
