The University of Houston is mourning the sudden loss of one of its own.
Women’s Basketball Director of Operations Kaila Chizer died Tuesday, UH announced. She was 26.
UH said Chizer’s passing was unexpected.
Chizer was from Pearland, where she played basketball. She started her college career at Texas A&M-Kingsville, where she played in 28 games in two seasons. Chizer played in six games, including one start, during the 2017-18 season with the Cougars.
After her playing career, Chizer spent two seasons (2018-2020) as a graduate assistant with UH.
“During that time, she supervised the team’s managers while assisting with recruiting, community service and academic scheduling as well as taking the lead on equipment,” UH said.
