UTEP head coach Tim Floyd, best known for his controversial tenure at USC and a disappointing run with the Chicago Bulls, is retiring.
Floyd, 63, announced after the Miners’ 66–52 loss to Lamar on Monday night that his coaching career is over, effective immediately.
“This is the right time, I know this is the right time,” Floyd told reporters, according to The Prospector.
UTEP is 1–5 this season, with its lone win coming against Division-III Louisiana College. He leaves UTEP with a cumulative record of 136–86, though he never led the Miners to the NCAA tournament.
