Longtime University of the Ozarks women's basketball coach to retire

University of the Ozarks women's basketball Coach Carl Ramsey has announced his retirement after coaching nearly 40 years in the area.

Ramsey has spent his entire career in the coaching profession, including the past nine seasons at Ozarks.

"It is difficult to put into words the positive impact he has had on the countless lives of young people during his career," Athletics Director Jimmy Clark said. "He has always been a first-class coach. He truly cared about the success of his athletes on and off the court."

Ramsey was voted the American Southwest Conference East Division Coach of the Year in 2011 and led Ozarks to four postseason appearances during his tenure. He won a combined 730 games at Ozarks and Lamar High School.
