ATLANTA (March 22) -Georgia State women’s basketball head coach Lea
Henry announced her resignation after 16 seasons with the Panthers.
"After much thought and consideration, I have decided that the time is
right for me to pursue a new challenge, so I am resigning my position as
head women’s basketball coach at Georgia State," said Henry. "I believe
this decision is in the best interest of both me and the school.
"I wish nothing but the best for the Georgia State women’s basketball
program and all of my players. I am looking forward to my next
opportunity in the game that I love."
Henry posted a record of 245-222 at GSU, including a 15-15 mark (6-12
CAA) this season. In 20-plus seasons as a head coach, she has a career
mark of 303-222.
Henry guided the Panthers to three NCAA appearances-most recently in
2003-as well as four postseason berths and four 20-win seasons during
her tenure.
"We want to express our deep appreciation to Coach Henry for her 16
years of service to Georgia State University," said Director of
Athletics Cheryl L. Levick. "She is a great teacher of basketball, has
coached outstanding student-athletes, and has represented the University
and the athletics program with class. We wish her the best."
Levick said a national coaching search would begin immediately.
