Appalachian's Fancher resigns as Bball Head Coach

BOONE, N.C. ­— Houston Fancher resigned as men’s basketball head coach at Appalachian State University on Monday evening, effective immediately.

In nine seasons at the helm of the program, Fancher posted a 137-136 overall record, which included three Southern Conference North Division championships (2002-03, 2006-07 and 2007-08). In 2006-07, he led Appalachian to a school-record 25 wins, the San Juan Shootout championship and a berth in the National Invitation Tournament. He was named the SoCon Coach of the Year in 2002-03 after winning the first of his three North Division titles.
Can't say I'm shocked he won't be back as HC, but I am surprised he resigned (though I have my doubts it was on his own accord). I've had the pleasure of meeting Houston a few times. He's a great guy, really down to earth, cared for ASU, and would always stop and talk to you. I hope he has something else lined up and finds success elsewhere.

I will be interested to see who we go after, I'd like to see us go after Matt Doherty :lol:

Amen. :lol:

Fancher may be the nicest dude in the world, but a 137-136 record after 10 years just doesn't cut it. Coupled with the drastic dropoff in fan support, the inability to win the must-have home games, and never even sniffing a SoCon tournament final, it was time for a change.

Can't wait to see who we'll bring in as the new coach. :shock:
