Bowling Green State University has terminated the employment of Men’s Head Basketball Coach Chris Jans. Jans was terminated following an investigation into his recent public conduct. The University concluded that Jans’ public conduct failed to meet his obligations as a head coach and the expectations that BGSU Athletics has for its coaches.

The University will have no further comment on this personnel matter.

BGSU will immediately begin a national search for the 17th head coach in program history. Assistant Coach Mark Downey will take over the day-to-day operations and lead the program during the search process.
