Tasha Butts, the women's basketball coach at Georgetown University, has died after a two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 41 years old.

"She continued to play a significant role within the program while going through treatment," a statement from Georgetown University said. In addition to being a successful coach, Butts had a stellar career as a player.
