OXFORD, Miss. - Tracy Dildy announced Wednesday that he is resigning his post as Ole Miss assistant basketball coach. Dildy had served as a Rebel assistant the last two years after arriving in Oxford in the spring of 2004.
"I'm going to take a step back and reevaluate my future plans," said Dildy. "Ole Miss has been wonderful to me and my family. Andy (Kennedy) has all my support with the players, and I think he is going to do a fantastic job."
A 17-year coaching veteran, Dildy has also worked as an assistant at Auburn, DePaul, Ball State and his alma mater UIC. Prior to joining the Rebels, Dildy spent two seasons at Auburn, and in 2002-03, helped the Tigers post a 22-12 mark and reach the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
During Dildy's time at DePaul, the Blue Demons' 2001 recruiting class was ranked No. 1 in the nation, while the 1999 group was tabbed No. 2. His first season at Ole Miss saw him help assemble a 2005 signing class that was rated as high as third in the nation.
