Sacramento State Athletic Director Terry Wanless announced Monday that head women’s basketball coach Carolyn Jenkins will not return next season.

Jenkins’ contract, a three-year deal which paid her $65,000 this season, will expire March 31 and will not be renewed, according to Wanless.

“I appreciate the effort and hard work Carolyn has put into the program,” Wanless said in a press release. “Unfortunately, the results we anticipated have not been met, and we have decided to go in a different direction.”

In her three seasons as the head coach of Hornets, Jenkins compiled an overall record of 6-74, including a 2-42 mark in the Big Sky Conference.

This past season, the Hornets had their most successful season under Jenkins. The team went 3-24, with their most impressive win coming on the road at Montana State, 2003 co-champions of the Big Sky Conference.

“I felt we we’re starting in the right direction,” Jenkins said. “We were on a five-year plan but we just weren’t able to complete it. As for myself and my staff, I feel great in terms of what we’ve done.”

Though her overall record may not open too many eyes at first, Jenkins feels that she will have another opportunity to coach in some capacity, whether in college or the pros.

“I love coaching at a university, in an academic atmosphere,” Jenkins said. “But if a professional opportunity presented itself I certainly would look at it.”

The search for a new women’s basketball coach will begin immediately.
