(Clarksville, TN) — Matt Figger who spent the last four seasons as head coach of the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball program, has resigned his post to assume the same position at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
During Figger’s tenure, the Govs went 76-51 overall, with three appearances in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament semifinals.
“We thank Matt Figger for his years of service at Austin Peay State University and wish him, his wife Katrina and their son Vince all the best as they embark on this new opportunity in Texas,” said Austin Peay Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison. “Our men’s basketball program is one of the flagship programs at Austin Peay and historically one of the best in the OVC.”
A national search will begin immediately.
