Utah State women's basketball coach Kayla Ard ended a postgame interview by revealing she'd been fired after her team's loss.
Kayla Ard and the Aggies women’s basketball team had just been beaten in the Mountain West Conference tournament.Utah State’s first-round exit from the Mountain West women’s basketball tournament was only the precursor to the real story to come out of Las Vegas.“How do you plan to rebuild for next season?” Ard was asked.
“I’m not going to be rebuilding,” she replied. “I just coached my last game at Utah State. I spoke with Diana and they are going in a different direction. And I respect her decision and I hope they get a really good coach.”This is crazy! After the Utah State women lost tonight, coach Kayla Ard was asked how they rebuild next season - and she says she just got fired. Never seen anything like this.

It lost to Boise State 85-49 on Sunday to finish out the year. Ard was in Logan for four seasons, never winning more than 11 games.
