KANSAS CITY, Mo. – NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson released a statement following the announcement that Bruce Pearl has stepped down from his position as head men’s basketball coach at Auburn.
“Bruce Pearl showcased a unique ability throughout his career to achieve success at any level – from his Division II national title to multiple Division I Final Fours – and he is one of just two coaches in history to be named both the NABC Division I and Division II Coach of the Year. Bruce was also an impactful advocate for our profession behind the scenes, notably offering a leading voice on the NABC Division I Congress and helping craft multiple NABC positions on key legislative issues. On behalf of the NABC, I congratulate Bruce on today’s announcement and thank him for his service to our game.”
