Jimmy Dykes out as Arkansas coach

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas women's basketball coach Jimmy Dykes will not return after overseeing the Razorbacks' worst conference record since the program joined the SEC.

Dykes resigned Friday after Arkansas finished 13-17 this season to bring Dykes' three-year record to 43-49 overall and 16-36 against SEC competition, including tournament games.

It's unclear whether Dykes, 55, will be owed a $750,000 buyout.

Arkansas finished this season on an 11-game losing streak after a 71-61 loss to Florida at the SEC Tournament on Wednesday. The Razorbacks finished last in the SEC with a 2-14 record in league play.

"I'm not happy at all -- none of us are -- with the fact that we won two SEC games and finished at the bottom of the league," Dykes told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette earlier this week.
