Arkansas women's basketball coach Mike Neighbors resigned Wednesday after eight seasons.

The 55-year-old Arkansas native was 148-114 with the Razorbacks, including 10-22 in 2024-25.

'As I shared in my introductory press conference on April 4, 2017, the opportunity to coach the Hogs fulfilled a lifelong dream,' Neighbors said in a statement released by the school. 'I also acknowledged that there would be a time when that dream would end, and until then, I pledged to do my best to make my family, my team and my home state of Arkansas proud.'

The Razorbacks' disappointing season ended with a 79-74 loss to Georgia in last week's Southeastern Conference tournament.

Neighbors previously coached at Washington from 2013-17, compiling a 98-41 record over four seasons.

He went to the NCAA Tournament twice with the Razorbacks (2021, 2022) and three times with the Huskies, including a Final Four appearance in 2016.
