Anita Howard out as Georgia Southern women’s basketball head coach
STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - The Georgia Southern University women’s basketball team will be under new leadership next season.
Anita Howard will no longer be the head coach of the program.
The university announced that Howard and the athletics department came to a mutual agreement to move on.
“I would like to thank Anita Howard for her contributions to our women’s basketball program over the past five seasons,” Benko said. “We are grateful for her service and commitment to our student-athletes here at Georgia Southern.”
“I want to thank Eagle Nation for your support during my tenure,” Howard said. “We’ve accomplished great things together and laid a solid foundation for future success to come. My contributions to this University and team have left this program in a better place than when I arrived. I wish nothing but the best for this University, the fans and especially my players—current and past. As I look to spread my wings elsewhere, I have faith that I did my best, and the best is yet to come.”
The Eagles finished this season 15-18 overall but were 4-14 in Sun Belt conference play.
