The N.C. State Department of Athletics announced Tuesday afternoon that women’s basketball head coach Kellie Harper will not return to coach the Wolfpack during the 2013-14 season.

“We thank Kellie for her service to our women’s basketball program,” Director of Athletics Debbie Yow said in a press release. “We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Harper completed her fourth season in charge of the N.C. State women’s basketball program Saturday with a loss on the road against James Madison University in the second round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The Pack finished the season with a 17-17 overall record, going 7-11 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which tied for seventh place in the conference.

Harper took over for former head coach Kay Yow following her death in 2009. She compiled a 70-64 (.522) overall record in her four seasons at the helm but was just 23-39 (.371) in the ACC. She led the Wolfpack to the NCAA Tournament during her first season in Raleigh, her only appearance.

“We will begin a national search immediately,” senior associate athletics director and women’s basketball supervisor Michael Lipitz said in the press release, “but have no specific timeline for completion.”

Current assistant coach Ken Griffin will continue in his current role and will lead the program in the interim period.
