LOGAN, Utah – Utah State Interim Athletics Director Jerry Bovee announced Thursday that Ryan Odom has resigned as the head men's basketball coach for the Aggies and a national search for USU's next head coach has already begun.

"We thank Ryan, his family and staff for their contributions to Aggie Basketball," said Bovee. "They did a great job maintaining the winning culture we are accustomed to. We have a deep and talented roster returning next year that are made up of high-character individuals and our priorities start and end with them.

"Utah State basketball has a proven track record of success over a long period of time with numerous coaches. This is a very desirable job that has already drawn national interest and we will work as quickly and efficiently as possible to assure our next head coach is equipped to build upon all our successes, which includes 23 NCAA Tournament appearances – 11 since the turn of the century."
