Northern State has announced it has fired head men’s basketball coach Saul Phillips after six seasons in charge of the program. The Wolves won just two games this season and finished last in the NSIC conference.
“We have not met the high expectations we have for our men’s basketball at Northern the past two seasons and a change in leadership is in the best interest of the program,” Davis said. “We would like to thank Saul for his leadership and contributions the past six seasons and wish the very best for him and his family in their next endeavor.”
Northern finished first in the NSIC three times in Phillips first four years in charge, but went 12-45 overall the past two seasons. A nationwide search will begin to find his replacement.
