After 19 seasons leading the Middle Georgia State University women's basketball program as the team's head coach, Anderson Ligon has made the decision to step down from the position, as announced on Wednesday, March 5.

Ligon will continue in his role as an associate professor in the School of Business, while turning his focus to full-time teaching beginning in the 2025-26 academic year.

"'It has been an honor to lead this program and work with such dedicated student-athletes, staff, and administration,' remarked Ligon.

"'I am grateful for the support and opportunities I have had during my time as head coach and will always appreciate the relationships built along the way. While I am stepping away from coaching, I remain committed to the University's mission and core values and look forward to continuing with contributions in the classroom and community.'"
