Thanks. But no thanks.
UW-Green Bay is still looking for a coach to replace the legendary Kevin Borseth. It really makes me wonder what is so bad at our program to cause someone to change their mind about UWGB.
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will immediately resume its search for a women's basketball head coach following the resignation of Aaron Johnston, UW-Green Bay Director of Athletics Ken Bothof announced today. Johnston, who had accepted the head coaching position for the women's basketball team Tuesday, has decided to return to South Dakota State University, where he has been the head coach for the past seven seasons.
"Although we are disappointed in Aaron's decision, we are moving forward," said Bothof. "The opportunity to be a part of a program as strong as our women's basketball team continues to make this position a desirable one. I am as confident as ever that we will find a high-quality coach that will lead this team to success both on and off the court."
"I didn't realize until today the strong emotional ties I had to South Dakota State University and the community of Brookings," said Johnston. "I want to apologize to Chancellor Bruce Shepard, Athletics Director Ken Bothof, the search and screen committee and the community of Green Bay and its University for the sudden change of heart."
