Wofford announced Friday that men’s basketball coach Jay McAuley has resigned from the program.
The move comes after McAuley took a leave of absence on Dec. 5 following multiple players going to the university’s administration, stating that they did not want to play for him anymore. McAuley’s leave of absence, one that was forced, surfaced after players voiced their concerns about the amount of practice time and other issues”, according to Stadium.
In McAuley’s absence, Dwight Perry will continue to serve as the program’s interim head coach. Brent Williamson, the school’s spokesman, told the Associated Press that the program could not add details about McAuley’ decision to resign.
