FAU women’s basketball head coach Jim Jabir is leaving to coach in New York for Siena College, sources can confirm. It will be the second time Jabir is coaching for Siena; the first time lasted from 1987 to 1990.
This comes after Jabir led the team to its best overall performance of 11-11 (8-8 C-USA) in Conference USA since the team joined the conference in 2013, including their first quarterfinal appearance in the C-USA tournament.
Brian White, vice president and director of the athletics department, said that a national search for the next coach will be conducted immediately.
