MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — Ball State men’s basketball coach James Whitford will not return for a 10th season, the university athletics department says.
The department’s announcement did not give a reason for Whitford’s departure but cited his 131-148 record overall with the Cardinals. “This season finished with a 14-17 overall mark, including a 9-10 record in conference play,” the announcement said.
Now, the search for a new coach is underway.
