When Quick offered her resignation to athletics director Mike Pennington at West Forsyth, she did not give a reason for leaving.
Quick starred at West Forsyth from 1993 through ’97, winning Player of the Year in the Central Piedmont 4-A her final two years and also winning the Journal’s Mary Garber Award as the top female player in Northwest North Carolina.
She later had a standout playing career at North Carolina and played in the WNBA.
She was the head coach at West for the past six seasons, during which time the team experienced unprecedented success. Led by twins Jazmine and Jessica Jones, the Titans reached the Class 4-A state-championship game for the only time in school history in 2012, and the Titans were one win away from returning to the championship in 2014.
Pennington offered high praise last month for the work that Quick did with the girls program at West Forsyth.
Quick will join the staff of A.G. Hall, who will be entering his fourth season at WSSU. Last season the Rams went 11-17 and lost 88-59 in the second round of the CIAA Tournament to Shaw.
She will be replacing Tierra Rudd, who left to take an assistant’s job at Western Carolina.
