HARTFORD, Conn. -- Longtime Connecticut assistant Tonya Cardoza will replace Dawn Staley as Temple's head coach, a person with knowledge of the hiring said Wednesday.
Cardoza's appointment is expected to be announced by Temple on Friday, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was still two days off.
Cardoza has been at Connecticut for 14 years, where she helped coach the Huskies to five national championships.
Staley, who left Temple to coach at South Carolina, played with Cardoza at Virginia.
