Aaron Roussell Named Virginia Head Women’s Basketball Coach
University of Virginia Director of Athletics Carla Williams announced today (April 7) the hiring of Aaron Roussell as head women’s basketball coach. Roussell becomes the seventh head coach in the program’s history.
Major Ughh.
Happy for Coach Roussell, but sad for UR Women’s basketball. Really wanted to see what he could do this coming season as it will be a challenge replacing 2 all time players for any coach. The timing really puts UR in a deficit both in terms of getting a new coach and managing the roster.

Richmond Leadership Reactions to Departure of Aaron Roussell - University of Richmond Athletics
RICHMOND, Va. — The University of Richmond released the following statements regarding the departure of Aaron Roussell .
Hardt said “The University made every effort to retain Aaron, and we're disappointed by his departure“ Curious what this means and whether we continue this same momentum with the next coach to continue where we left off. Hope there won’t be a drop off of resources and investment just because Roussell is leaving.

Thanks to Coach Roussell for making me a Women’s basketball fan.
And thanks for showing the AD, University leaders and fans how to build a national program.
Best wishes for success and ha! Give the Spiders some games!

This one worried me from the jump. Easy hire for them, easy job to take for him etc. He probably doesn't even have to move if he doesn't want to. Big loss for sure and a very big hire. We need to be aggressive here, but guess is we'll be settling somehow! Not a lot of confidence in admin here!

The wrong coach left, what a bummer.

This is a huge hire. Our women's program is at an inflexion point - - are we going to be a consistently elite mid-major level program or are we just happy to catch a wave once in awhile. VCU men have shown that you can remain the elite mid-major program in the country if you are committed to it and have expectations and resources in concert. I'd hope that we go that way.Richmond Leadership Reactions to Departure of Aaron Roussell - University of Richmond Athletics

Unfortunately, history with our Men's program says we will go the other direction. Save some cash on both salary and NIL that Rousell was able to command and we won't pony up to the new person and then happily be mediocre for the next 22 years!
First thing I thought after “crap” was there is one coach happier than Roussell with this news.
