Garner Fired At Southeast Missouri State

After nine seasons in Cape Girardeau, Gary Garner is out as Southeast Missouri State’s basketball coach. The university said Wednesday it will not extend Garner’s five-year contract. The Redhawks went 7-20 overall this season, and just 4-16 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The 62-year-old Garner had a 126-132 record at the school. He led Southeast to a 24-7 record in 2000 and the school’s first NCAA Division I Tournament berth.
