BYU coach Amber Whiting announced Saturday that she will not be back next season, agreeing to part ways with the school.

A second Big 12 program, Arizona State, also has an opening after dismissing Natasha Adair.

Whiting just finished her third season at BYU and posted a 45-51 record, including 19-35 in conference. The season ended Wednesday for the Cougars (13-17, 4-14) with an 81-69 loss to UCF in the Big 12 conference tournament.

Associate head coach Lee Cummard will serve as interim head coach.

At Arizona State, Adair is out after a 10-22 (3-15) season. She became the coach of the Sun Devils in 2022 and compiled a 29-62 record.

“We appreciate coach Natasha Adair’s leadership and professionalism in guiding Sun Devil women’s basketball over the past three seasons,” Arizona State athletic director Graham Rossini said in a statement. “She and her staff built meaningful connections throughout the Valley, and we respect how she represented ASU during her time in Tempe. A national search for the next leader of our program will begin immediately.”

An injury-marred season concluded Thursday with a 96-88 loss to Iowa State on Thursday in the Big 12 tournament.

Adair previously was the head coach at the College of Charleston, Georgetown and Delaware.
