Wyoming fans will have to get used to another figure pacing the sidelines in 2016 as Head Coach Larry Shyatt announced his resignation Monday afternoon.

Rumors had circulated throughout the past week regarding Shyatt's plans for coaching going forward, and an announcement of a press conference to be scheduled for Monday was a solid indication.

"This is a very emotional moment for me and my family," Shyatt said. "This is not a decision that was made impulsively. Rather, it is a move that was arrived at after much soul-searching and discussion. I am ending my career here with the reluctant blessing of Tom Burman and the administration, and while they did their best to convince me to stay on, I believe that the timing of my decision is in the best interests of everyone involved.
