“I appreciate the contributions that coach Edwards has made to Wyoming basketball as a head coach and prior to that as an assistant coach, but after the lack of success the past two seasons I believe it is in the best interest of our program to make a change at this time,” said UW Athletic Director Tom Burman said in a news release from the school. “We were all very proud of the performance by the Cowboys at last week’s Mountain West Tournament, and I wanted to take some time to consider the future of our program after the emotion of last week. After considering all factors, we have not seen the type of on-court success we expect at Wyoming. We have a rich basketball tradition, and we need to return Cowboy Basketball to a prominent position in the Mountain West Conference.
“I want to thank coach Edwards for the way he mentored the young men in his program. He and his staff did many good things in the community. I also want to thank his family for all they have done for UW and the community. They have always represented our athletics department and the university in a first-class manner. We wish the Edwards family all the best in their future.”
A national search for a head coach will begin immediately, per the release.https://www.7220sports.com/edwards-...vQCQB0FhhThI18JmZ5EOmeyIwS04E9YqeTZxduN0bgefw
