"It is never easy when you lose someone like Allison," Insell stated. "She was a tremendous coach for our program and will not be easily replaced. She was a vital part of our success the last five years."

Clark joined the Blue Raiders as a member of Insell's first staff in 2005-06. During her tenure, Middle Tennessee advanced to the NCAA Tournament four times and produced a trio of All-Americans.

Last week assistant coach Tom Hodges resigned to take the head coaching job at Morehead State College in Kentucky.
