Former Kentucky guard Sean Woods relieved of head coaching duties at Southern

Former Kentucky guard Sean Woods is one of a few Wildcats who were college basketball head coaches in 2022-23. However, the Indiana native that has his jersey retired at Rupp Arena is now a coaching free agent.

On Wednesday, Southern University announced that Woods will not be returning after five years at the helm.

“At this time, we felt it was necessary to make a change in leadership of our men’s basketball program, over the last five years we have fallen short of our standard and expectations for our men’s basketball program,” Southern athletic director Roman Banks said in a release.
