Women’s basketball head coach Matt Insell resigns after 5 seasons, releases letter about time at Ole Miss

After five seasons as head coach of the women’s basketball program, Matt Insell and Ole Miss have mutually decided to part ways.

“I want to thank the people of Mississippi, and the fans of Ole Miss Athletics in particular, for the support through these years. It has been five great years in which I have made lifelong friends and created lasting memories,” Insell said in a letter.

During his time in Oxford, Insell accumulated a 70-87 overall record, with a 18-62 record in the SEC and a 2-5 record in the SEC Tournament. In his final season at the helm, Insell led the Rebels to a 12-19 record, including a 1-15 record in the SEC and an exit to 6-seed Missouri in the second round of the 2017-18 SEC Tournament.
