Mississippi State coach Ben Howland will not return next season, but he will coach the team in the National Invitation Tournament should the Bulldogs (18-15) receive an NIT bid, a Mississippi State athletic department source confirmed to OutKick on Sunday afternoon.
Two other sources with ties to Mississippi State said earlier Sunday that Howland was let go.
Mississippi State released a statement saying the report by Outkick is inaccurate:
Mississippi State statement to @Stadium
“Reports of Ben Howland being fired are inaccurate. MSU plans to accept a bid to the NIT should it be selected, and Howland intends to coach the team.” – John Cohen, MSU Director of Athletics
