Colorado State axes Layer
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2007 - Fort Collins, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado State fired head men's basketball coach Dale Layer, director of athletics Paul Kowalczyk announced Monday.
"After evaluating our men's basketball program over the past season and seeing where we are today, I felt it is time to move in a different direction,"said Kowalczyk.
The Rams went 17-13 this season, but a 6-10 record in the Mountain West Conference earned them a sixth-place finish. Layer still had one year left on a five-year extension he signed following the 2003 season, when he led the Rams to a MWC Tournament title. Colorado State fell to Duke in the first round of that year's NCAA Tournament.
The 19-14 season in 2003 was the most wins during Layer's seven seasons at Colorado State, where he compiled a 103-106 overall record.
"It has indeed been an honor and a privilege to serve as head coach at Colorado State for the past seven years," said Layer. "I greatly appreciate the opportunity and will always be a Ram at heart."
