Grant Schmidt, athletic director for Concordia University, Nebraska, announced Friday that the head softball coach for the university, Robert Ginsburg, had been released from his duties.
"We believe that, for the overall health of the program, an immediate change of leadership was necessary," said Schmidt. "Our softball program has been outstanding, and we want it to continue to reach its highest potential. We are grateful for Coach Ginsburg's commitment to the program, and for the positive things he contributed to Concordia this year."
Schmidt said that an interim coach will be named within days and that a national search for Concordia's new head softball coach will begin immediately.
