BATON ROUGE – Nikki Fargas, the second-winningest coach in LSU women's basketball history, has stepped down as head coach of the Tigers to pursue another opportunity, the school announced on Saturday.
In 10 years as head coach of the Tigers, Fargas guided LSU to five 20-win seasons and six NCAA Tournament appearances. LSU would have made a seventh NCAA Tournament appearance in 2019-20 had the season not been cut short due to COVID-19.
Fargas' career mark at LSU stands at 177-129, ranking her behind only Hall of Fame coach Sue Gunter for most victories in school history.
