EVERETT, Wash. (AP) -Washington State women's basketball coach June Daugherty was hospitalized in critical condition late Tuesday night, less than a month after she was hired.
Providence Everett Medical Center spokeswoman Cheri Russum said she could only confirm that Daugherty was hospitalized in critical condition.
KIRO-TV of Seattle reported that Daugherty suffered a heart attack.
Fired by Washington despite a winning record, Daugherty was hired last month as the women's basketball coach at rival Washington State.
The 50-year-old Daugherty coached Washington to the NCAA tournament the past two seasons and in six of her 11 years with the Huskies. But she was dismissed by Washington on March 18, one day after the Huskies lost their first-round game in the NCAA tournament to Iowa State.
At Washington, Daugherty compiled a 191-139 overall record and a 113-85 Pac-10 mark. Daugherty coached from 1989-96 at Boise State, where she posted a 123-74 overall record.
She took over a program that has not had a winning season since 1995-96.
She replaced Sherri Murrell, who resigned April 5 after compiling a 27-114 record in her five years as coach. Murrell was 8-82 in Pac-10 play.
