Boyd Grant Resigns at Colorado State
Colorado State Coach Boyd Grant resigned Wednesday, saying it was time to retire.
“I have nothing but great, great feelings about Colorado State University. I always will,” said Grant, 57. “When I took over four years ago, I knew in my heart that at some point I would retire.”
Grant’s first Colorado State team reached the semifinal round of the National Invitation Tournament, and his next two teams played in the NCAA tournament.
This season’s team finished 15-14. After Colorado State lost to Brigham Young, 69-56, in the quarterfinals of the Western Athletic Conference tournament, Grant dropped the first hint that he might have coached his final game.
In 13 years as a Division I coach, he had a worse record only once, 15-15 in 1985-86 at Fresno State. He then retired for one year before taking the Colorado State job.
He has an overall record of 275-120.
