Beasley was placed on administrative leave and subsequently reassigned following a June 14 Baltimore Sun story where current and former players alleged verbal abuse from Beasley.
Beasley was hired as the head coach, March 14, 2005. Throughout his tenure with the Lady Bears, he has amassed a 141-191 record, making him the winningest coach in program history.
Edward Davis Jr, who spent the past two years as an assistant coach for the Lady Bears, will serve as the interim head coach this season.
“I want to thank coach Beasley for his years of service and his leadership and successes he did achieve in the program,” said Kerr
