Longtime Pittsburg State University head basketball coach Gene Iba has announced his retirement, effective at the end of the 2009-10 season.
Iba, the nephew of former legendary Oklahoma State basketball coach Henry Iba, has built a 252-154 record in his 14 seasons at Pitt State.
Prior to taking over at Pittsburg State in 1995, Iba coached at Baylor, where he posted a 98-107 record in his seven seasons [1985-92] with the Bears.
Pitt State Athletic Director Chuck Broyles said that the school will no immediately launch a national search for Iba’s successor, but will start the process in the coming months.
