Coach Jay McAuley’s leave of absence from Wofford was not his choice and came about amid complaints from players, Stadium reported Tuesday.
Wofford announced Monday that McAuley was taking a leave of absence and Dwight Perry will serve as interim head coach effective immediately. The school did not provide a reason for the leave.
But per Tuesday’s report, McAuley was forced to take the leave after “multiple complaints and concerns from players about amount of practice time and other issues.”
McAuley just started his fourth season as head coach of the Terriers, who are 5-4 so far this season. He’s 58-42 after coaching in his 100th game.
Wofford hosts Coastal Carolina on Tuesday night.
McAuley played for Georgia, appearing in 46 games (three starts) over four seasons and averaging 0.8 points per game.
