Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger fired women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson on Monday afternoon, making the announcement official in a news release.
"Bonnie has been an outstanding representative of the University of Kansas and Kansas Athletics," Zenger said. "It came down to the fact that we expect this program to rank among the best in the Big 12 conference, and we have not accomplished that goal."
Henrickson went 186-171 in 11 seasons at KU. The Jayhawks made the Sweet 16 in 2012 and 2013.
Assistant coach Katie O'Connor will serve as interim coach while KU searches for a full-time replacement.
