The Concordia University Department of Recreation and Athletics announced today that Stingers women’s basketball head coach Keith Pruden will not be returning next season.
Pruden spent 20 seasons as head coach of the Concordia program and compiled an overall win-loss record of 299-305. The Stingers won three Quebec conference titles over the same period.
“We’d like to thank Keith for his dedication and contribution to the Stingers women’s basketball program. We wish him the best in future endeavors,” says Patrick Boivin, director of Recreation and Athletics.
Pruden came to the Stingers from the University of Winnipeg where he was an assistant coach with the Wesmen for six seasons. While with the Wesmen, he won three consecutive national championships and five straight Great Plains conference titles.
This past season the Stingers finished in third place with a 7-9 record in RSEQ conference play and a 14-14 record overall.
The search for a new coach will begin shortly. “We believe it is time to move the program in a new direction,” adds Boivin.
