Miami University is looking for a new head basketball coach. The school announced Wednesday that coach Jack Owens and the university have mutually agreed to part ways.  Owens went 70-83 at Miami, and this season was the most disappointing, going 14-18 with a strong senior class. The season was marred by injuries, and several bouts with COVID that postponed some contests. Under Owens, Miami was invited to the College Basketball Invitational in 2018, and had a winning record of 12-11 in 2020-21. 

"I want to thank Jack Owens for his tremendous effort and work ethic in leading Miami Basketball," said Director of Athletics David Sayler. "We all have a great amount of respect for Jack, who he is, how he conducts himself and how he ran the program. Jack's leadership throughout the pandemic was always centered on student-athlete well-being and he accomplished a lot in challenging times. We wish him well in his future endeavors."
