Central Arkansas has decided to part ways with head coach Anthony Boone.
The decision to part ways with Coach Boone comes after a 9-23 overall record and a 5-11 record in the Atlantic Sun during the 2023–24 season.
University of Central Arkansas director of athletics Dr. Brad Teague said this about Anthony Boone: "We could not have asked for a better person to lead our young men. That made the decision to change our direction much more difficult. But, I decided we needed to find a new leader to explore the possibilities of this program." via UCA Athletics.
