CHARLOTTE ATHLETICS

Charlotte women's basketball coach Tomekia Reed has been cleared to return to coaching duties after being sidelined in April due to an undisclosed medical issue.

Charlotte women’s basketball coach Tomekia Reed will resume her duties as head coach effective immediately. 

Reed had been on an extended leave of absence due to an undisclosed medical issue since April. 

A source close to Charlotte athletics who is not authorized to speak publicly told The Post Reed is medically cleared to resume her normal duties and continues to progress. Associate head coach LaShonda Cousin was the interim in Reed’s absence and coached the 49ers through late spring and early summer. Cousin has been a longtime assistant to Reed, spending six years on her staff at Jackson State before moving to Charlotte. 

Reed went 14-18 last season, her second with the 49ers.
