Charlotte Names Karen Aston Head Women's Basketball Coach

... "I am incredibly excited and honored to lead the women's program here at Charlotte," Aston said. "I have been waiting patiently for this opportunity in my career and am so grateful to Judy Rose and the entire administration for believing in my vision and my passion for coaching. The previous staff did a tremendous job laying the groundwork for future success and my intentions are to pick up where they left off."

... "I am very happy for Karen," said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey, who was the 2005 Big 12 Coach of the Year. "It has been a goal of hers to become a head coach and I wish her much success. As I said when I hired her last year, I didn't know how long we'd be able to keep her because she's ready to become a head coach. I am glad that she was a part of our program and I feel like we have created a lifelong friendship."
