TROY, Ala. – Following a meeting between Troy University Athletic Director Steve Dennis and women's basketball head coach Michael Murphy on Saturday, it was decided that the University will move in a different direction with its women's basketball program effective immediately.
“I have a lot of respect for Coach Murphy and I would like to thank him for his 10 years of dedication to the University, but we felt that it was the best time for our women's basketball program to move in a different direction,” Dennis said. “I can't thank him enough for his work, class and impact that he has had on so many young lives. I have no doubt that he will have success in the future.”
Assistant coaches Craig Kennedy and Jennifer Wasson will assume the day-to-day responsibilities of the women's basketball program while a national search for the new head coach is underway.
