Longtime Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant is stepping down due to health reasons, the program announced on Monday.
"After much consideration and consultation with my healthcare providers, I have come to the difficult decision that it is in my best interest [to step down]," Merchant said in a statement, in part."I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire Michigan State community, including the administration, faculty, and staff. I have had the privilege of coaching some of the most talented and dedicated young women in the country.
"The opportunity to mentor, lead, and empower young women has been the honor of a lifetime. Over my 28 years as a head coach and the last 16 years at MSU, I have been blessed to work with incredible assistant coaches as well as staff members that have shared the love of the game, mentoring young women, and were passionate about the Green and White. I am truly grateful to each of you for your time, energy, and dedication to our program. Much admiration and love to you all.
