AUBURN, Ala. (EETV) - After a disappointing season,
Auburn athletic director John Cohen has informed the public that coach Johnnie
Harris and her staff have been let go.
“After a review of our women’s basketball program, I have made the difficult decision that a leadership change is in the best interest of Auburn University,” Cohen said. “I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Johnnie. Having worked with her for more than a decade at two institutions, I know Johnnie is an exceptional person with a great basketball mind. I think Johnnie for the way she represented Auburn and for her contributions to our women’s basketball program. While these decisions are never easy, the program must move in a new direction.”
This comes after a disappointing 12-18 record on the year, and one day after losing in the SEC tournament in the first round 50-60 to the Florida Gators. Coach Harris posted a 58-63 career record at Auburn as head coach. Auburn will now begin the search for their next head coach.
