Chattanooga women's basketball coach Katie Burrows out after four seasons

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Chattanooga women's basketball coach Katie Burrows has stepped down after four seasons at her alma mater.

Athletic director Mark Wharton announced the move Tuesday.

"This was a tough decision to make, but after careful consideration and evaluation, a change in direction and leadership is needed at this time," Wharton said.

Burrows took over in 2018 when Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Jim Foster retired. Burrow went 46-68, including 7-23 this season.

Before taking over, she spent eight seasons as an assistant at Chattanooga working for both Wes Moore and Foster. Chattanooga went 255-95 and earned five NCAA tournament berths during those eight seasons.

Burrows played for Chattanooga from 2000 to '04, when she was known as Katie Galloway. Chattanooga won four straight Southern Conference titles during her playing career and earned an NCAA tournament victory her senior year.
