UW-Green Bay will resume search for women's basketball coach
UW-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 (Thursday, April 26). 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."
Johnston cites strong ties back home in reconsidering
"I didn't realize until today the strong emotional ties I had to South Dakota State University and the community of Brookings," Johnston is quoted as saying, in a formal statement for the media. "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."
Media briefing at 4 p.m.
Athletics Director Ken Bothof will hold a news conference, as previously scheduled, at 4 p.m. at the Kress Center to discuss the latest developments.
