Kennesaw State parts ways with Nitra Perry

Kennesaw State won’t renew the contract of women’s basketball coach Nitra Perry.

The Owls went 11-19 this season, Perry’s fourth in charge. The team posted previous records of 7-24, 6-24 and 17-13.

Perry came to Kennesaw State after four seasons on the coaching staff at Toledo. She also worked at Mississippi State (2006-08) and Georgia Tech (2004-06).

At Kennesaw State, Perry succeeded Colby Tilley.

Perry was the subject of a two-week internal investigation after an allegation made by several former players that she had a physical incident with then-freshman Valescia Dixon, that she demeaned players and had favorites.

The investigation concluded that there were no violations of NCAA or university rules.
