Divilbiss resigns from UI women's basketball
March 28, 2008, 3:18 pm
“I hereby resign my position as head women’s basketball coach at the University of Idaho,” Divilbiss said Friday in a statement released by the university. “I would like to thank the University for the opportunity the past seven years.”
Divilbiss’ resignation came after an assessment of the program, which posted a 4-25 mark during the 2007-08 season, by Director of Athletics Rob Spear.
“Based on my evaluation of the program and discussions with Mike,” Spear said, “it is in everyone’s best interest to move in a new direction.
“I would like to thank Mike for his service to the University of Idaho and to Vandal athletics. I wish him the best.”
Divilbiss was 82-119 in his seven seasons with the Vandals. A settlement agreement was reached on the two years remaining on his contract.
Alison Chase, an assistant for the past two seasons, will serve as interim head coach during the search for a new head coach.
