Jimmy Dykes announce his resigned as Arkansas’ women’s basketball coach Friday afternoon after meeting with Jeff Long and the team.
Dykes led the program to a first-round victory in the NCAA Tournament two years ago, but the program has steadily declined since. The team finished dead last in the SEC this year with a 2-14 record. Multiple players quit the team midseason, including a 5-star in-state recruit in Jordan Danberry, who transferred to conference rival Mississippi State.
This season kicked off in a firestorm when six players kneeled in protest for the national anthem, resulting in a blitz of outrage from some fans and donors.
