- Georgia and Katie Abrahamson-Henderson mutually agreed to part ways on Saturday, two days after the team fell 82-73 in overtime to Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
- Abrahamson-Henderson finished 22-10 this season and compiled a 69-59 record across four years, with only one season above .500 in SEC play.
- Athletic director Josh Brooks said a national search for a new head coach would begin immediately and emphasized Georgia's resources, alumni base, and fan support in his statement.
- Abrahamson-Henderson was hired on March 26, 2022 to replace Joni Taylor and became only the third full-time head coach in program history.
- Andy Landers, Abrahamson-Henderson's former coach at Georgia, retired in 2015 after 36 seasons, 31 NCAA tournament appearances, five Final Fours, and two national championship game appearances — the standard the program is now searching to recapture.
Why it matters: Georgia is opening a search for just the third full-time head coach in program history after a four-year run that delivered one winning SEC season and a first-round NCAA exit, raising the stakes for an AD who must restore a tradition built on Andy Landers' 31 tournament trips.
