Milwaukee Announces Jeter Will Not Return As Men’s Basketball Coach
Panthers to begin national search for new coach immediately
MILWAUKEE (March 17, 2016) - Milwaukee Director of Athletics, Amanda Braun announced today that Rob Jeter will not return as the Panthers’ Head Men’s Basketball Coach.
“Rob has always put the interests of our student-athletes first and has represented our program and the university with class over the last 11 years. I thank him and his staff for their contributions,” Braun said. “After a thorough review, I have decided that a change in leadership of our men’s basketball program is needed to help us achieve our goal of consistently being a top program in the Horizon League.”
Jeter compiled a 185-170 overall record in eleven seasons at the helm. The Panthers finished third or higher in the Horizon League regular season standings twice in the last ten seasons and have not accomplished the feat since 2011-12.
“As we begin the process of searching for a new head coach, we will identify candidates who believe in our mission, possess high character and integrity and have a proven track record of continued success,” Braun said.
A national search will begin immediately for Milwaukee’s next head men’s basketball coach.

Would be a great choice. Don't have confidence in the AD to make the right choice.

Maybe. It shouldn't take long to see if this was for competitive reasons or to simply cut cost. Originally Posted by Goose85

Great story by Gary D.
She wasn't there when UWM beat Wisconsin? She never congratulated them after winning pre-season tourney? Their number 1 booster cancelled his season tickets?
Does this sound familiar? It should.
She needs to go NOW! Forget the Jeter situation, it's over, but the quotes by Nicholas?
Wow.

She does need to go, you can't alienate your top donors.
This guy was ready to fund anything - foreign trip, post season trip, etc. I'm sure when money was needed he was the guy that kicked it in, and likely more than reported.
We know Williams and Pilarz didn't like Buzz, but Larry was at the road games right behind the bench.
Beating Wisconsin was huge, and the AD isn't there - wow.
Heard on the radio this morning that in Jeter's 11 years as coach he had 6 different ADs. That is crazy.

Pointed out on Scoop that Lovell hired three of the six.
Costello when Lovell was interim, Geiger and Braun.

She's worried about the perception of a donor funded international trip, but not the perception of paying 2 coaches next year?

Phyllis King pulled her weight over Lovell to get Amanda Braun hired.
March Madness starts in November
