GREENWOOD – Lander University head men’s basketball coach Bruce Evans announced his resignation today after the Bearcats were eliminated from the Peach Belt Conference tournament in Aiken.
In five years as Lander’s head coach, Evans amassed a 68-78 overall record for a .465 winning percentage. He had an overall 38-54 record in the Peach Belt Conference for a .413 winning percentage.
