According to a story by The Daily Illini, former Illinois women's basketball associate head coach Mike Divilbiss has left the program after several accusations of player abuse. Divilbiss recently completed his third season on the Illinois staff after arriving from Wisconsin-Green Bay in the spring of 2012 as part of Bollant's initial staff.
The program issued a press release on Monday morning stating that assistant coach and recruiting coordinator LaKale Malone would be promoted to fill Divibiss' role. The announcement didn't include any details surrounding the departure of the former assistant.
