University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s Keiana Gilbert (20) dribbles the ball downcourt while guarded by Wofford’s Cairo Booker (10) Saturday, Feb. 17, 2018 during the UTC vs. Wofford women’s basketball game at McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tenn. For the first time in quite a while, some questions surround the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball program.
Luckily, most can be easily answered.
Gone from the program are sisters Aryanna and Keiana Gilbert, taking a combined nine years of Mocs experience with them. Also gone is Hall of Fame coach Jim Foster, who retired after five seasons and 120 wins at the helm of the program.
In 40 seasons, Foster won 903 games and is widely considered one of the most influential people in the history of the women’s game.
The program has been turned over, albeit on an interim basis, to assistant coach Katie Burrows, who played for the Mocs prior to joining the coaching staff in 2009. She’s considered a favorite to assume the position full time, but the university is conducting a national search.
