OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss and head women's basketball coach Matt Insell have mutually agreed to part ways, it was announced Friday by Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Ross Bjork.
"Coach Insell inherited a very difficult situation in 2013, and we appreciate his focus and hard work over the last five years," Bjork said. "In our final analysis, Coach Insell and I agreed that the program needs new leadership. Coach Insell will be a coach for a long time in the future, and we wish him the best as he moves forward."
A nationwide search will now begin for a new head coach for the Rebel program, which boasts 17 NCAA Tournament appearances, 10 Sweet Sixteens and five Elite Eights in its storied past.
