Wendy Palmer hired at UNCG

Virginia All-American and WNBA veteran Wendy Palmer is the new head coach at UNC Greensboro.

Palmer, an assistant to Debbie Ryan, replaces Lynne Agee, who retired last month after 30 years coaching the Spartans.

In her two years at Virginia, a two-time ACC Player of the Year helped recruit and sign a class ranked in the top 15 nationally by ESPN HoopGurlz and coached All-American and national Defensive Player of the Year Monica Wright. During Palmer's tenure on the sidelines, Virginia made one NCAA appearance and a WNIT quarterfinals appearance.
