MISSISSIPPI STATE: Coach Nikki McCray-Penson says she is stepping down as coach immediately after one season to focus on her health.

The Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer said in a release that she has been faced again with unspecified health concerns she had hoped were behind her. To devote time and energy toward addressing these issues, McCray-Penson stated that she decided to step away. The Bulldogs were 10-9 (5-7 Southeastern Conference) in her lone season as coach.

Associate head coach Doug Novak will be MSU’s interim coach and the school will conduct a national search for a new coach. Athletic Director John Cohen said the school appreciated McCray-Penson’s time and effort and respected her decision to focus on her health and family.
