On Monday, Wyoming’s head men’s basketball coach, Larry Shyatt, stepped down from his position.
This is Shyatt’s full statement:
“This is a very emotional moment for me and my family. As has been announced, I am stepping aside from my position as head basketball coach. This is not a decision that was made impulsively. Rather, it is a move that was arrived at after much soul-searching and discussion. I am ending my career here with the reluctant blessing of Tom Burman and the administration, and while they did their best to convince me to stay on, I believe that the timing of my decision is in the best interests of everyone involved.
