"We are grateful for the time, talent and energy that Coach Kruger put into our women's basketball program," Twait said. "We wish him nothing but the very best as he continues in his professional career."

Twait added that a search process to replace Kruger will begin immediately. 

Kruger recently completed his fourth season with the Tritons, going 17-14 overall and 8-8 in the ICCAC. In four seasons, he was 64-60 overall.

Kruger and his wife, Patti, have three children: Carter, Kelsie and Katie.
