MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — Ball State announced it is parting ways with men’s basketball head coach Michael Lewis.
Lewis was the head coach of the Cardinals for four seasons. Ball State went 12-19 this season and missed the MAC Tournament for the third straight year.
Lewis went 20-12 in his first season in Muncie, Ball State’s first 20-win season in six years. However, in his next three seasons, the team’s win total decreased (15, 14, and 12, respectively).
“We are grateful to Coach Lewis for the passion and commitment he brought to our program the past four years,” Ball State director of athletics Jeff Mitchell said. “We appreciate the time and effort he invested in our student-athletes.”
Lewis went to IU, where he played for the Hoosiers from 1996-2000. He led the Big Ten in assists per game in his senior season in 1999-2000, averaging 5.3 assists per game.
Prior to Ball State, he was an assistant coach at UCLA.
