The winningest coach in Liberty Athletics history, Carey Green announced his retirement as Liberty Women’s Basketball head coach on Thursday. Longtime Assistant Coach Alexis Sherard will take over as the seventh head coach in Liberty Women’s Basketball history. Green spent 26 seasons as Liberty’s head coach, racking up 31 conference titles (15 regular-season, 16 conference tournament). He coached the Lady Flames to 15 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship appearances, headlined by a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2005, along with four postseason WNIT bids. “After 26 years of faithful and exemplary service, Coach Green leaves behind a legacy that reaches far beyond the scoreboard,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Ian McCaw.
