By Dillon Bender-
Coach Good led the Spartans for four seasons and compiled an overall record of 38-65. MU qualified for the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Confer-ence Tournament in 2016 and 2017. Good was also a former student-athlete for the Spartans and was a member of the 1995 NCAA Division III National Runner-Up team.
Manchester Director of Athletics Rick Espeset, released a statement that read:
"I want to thank Gerad for his work at MU. Over his four-year career, he has mentored basketball student-athletes and many other Manchester students. In addition to building strong relationships with students, Gerad was engaged with colleagues across campus. I appreciated many things about Gerad, notably, his friendly personality, our one-on-one conversations, and his passion for Manchester University and our students. I wish him the best in his future endeavors."
A national search will begin immediately to fill the position.
