Mike Dement out at UNCG

Greensboro, N.C. - Mike Dement is no longer the head basketball coach at UNC Greensboro, effective immediately, per a press release from Spartan Athletic Director Kim Record.

"In the interests of the long-term health of the men's basketball program, Mike and I have agreed that a change is necessary in order for the program to move forward," said Record. "Coach Dement has always exhibited the highest ethics and put the program before himself. He has been professional and committed to leading our efforts to enhance men's basketball with the program's move to the Greensboro Coliseum and the nonconference scheduling philosophy put in place over the last three seasons. We thank him for his contributions to UNCG's basketball program." Assistant coach Wes Miller has been named as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
