New Mexico women’s basketball will have a different feel in 2016.
Less than 48 hours after UNM was bounced out of the first round in a 75-67 loss to Weber State in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs announced that Yvonne Sanchez has been relieved of her duties as head coach.
“I believe that five years is enough time for a head coach to really develop and produce a quality program,” Krebs said in Friday’s press conference. “I think the logical question is why extend coach Sanchez’s last year?”
In five years at the helm of the women’s basketball program, Sanchez put together a 77-81 overall record, and a 40-44 record in conference play.
