SEATTLE (AP) - Washington State women's basketball coach June Daugherty was upgraded from critical to serious condition Wednesday, a day after going into cardiac arrest while at a medical clinic for a checkup.
The 50-year-old Daugherty was ``doing as well as can be expected,'' said Mike Daugherty, her husband and the team's associate head coach.
The Daughertys are the parents of 13-year-old twins.
Fired by Washington, Daugherty was hired last month at Washington State. She took over a program that has not had a winning season since 1995-96. She replaced Sherri Murrell, who resigned April 5 after a 27-114 record in her five years as coach.
Daugherty coached Washington to the NCAA tournament the past two seasons and in six of her 11 years with the Huskies. 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 had a 123-74 overall record.
``(We) have been told she can return to full activity,'' Washington State sports information director Rod Commons said in a phone interview. ``Basically, they expect full recovery.''
School officials said Daugherty collapsed Tuesday afternoon at a clinic in Everett, where she was scheduled for a physical.
