BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern women's basketball coach Sandy Pugh may be elsewhere in the Southwestern Athletic Conference next season.Pugh had not resigned from Southern as of Tuesday night but has spoken with Prairie View about the open job there.
Prairie View expects to name a new women's basketball coach in the next two weeks, the school confirmed Tuesday.
When reached for confirmation Tuesday night, athletic director Roman Banks said neither he nor Southern has been informed of a resignation, but SU expects talks between Pugh and Prairie View to
"come together" quickly in coming days. Talks began last week after Southern granted permission, Banks said.
Pugh did not immediately respond to The Advocate when reached for comment.
Pugh, the 2017-18 SWAC Coach of the Year, just finished her 18th season at Southern, having guided the Jaguars to an outright regular-season championship, the No. 1 overall seed in the SWAC tournament and a 14-4 record against the conference last season.
This season marked the fourth time in five years Southern earned at least a share of the regular-season title. The Jaguars became the first SWAC women’s basketball team to win an outright regular-season crown since Southern also accomplished the feat in 2013.
