CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – Wyoming has hired Florida associate head coach Larry Shyatt as its next head basketball coach.
Wyoming athletics officials announced Thursday that Shyatt has agreed to a five-year contract. He replaces Heath Schroyer, who was fired in February.
Shyatt previously was the Cowboys’ head coach during the 1997-98 season, when he led the team to a 19-9 record. He left Wyoming to coach Clemson for five seasons.
He spent seven years at Florida and helped the Gators win the 2006 and 2007 NCAA championships plus three Southeastern Conference tournament championships.
Shyatt has spent 35 years as a college coach. He was associate head coach at Clemson before Wyoming hired him the first time.
