Nancy Boone has plans. Big plans.

Im going to play golf, said Boone, who resigned last week as womens basketball coach at Clark College. Work on my golf game, if the weather ever clears up.

Boone, who coached the Penguins for six years, said it was time for her to take a break from coaching after 35 years at the high school, club, and college levels.

Im not having fun anymore. And Im tired, the 59-year-old said. Good season, good kids, but I wasnt having fun.

Boone guided Clark to 21-8 record this year, including a 13-3 mark and second-place finish in the NWAACC West Division.

The season marked a continuation of the Penguins improvement since a 4-20 record in Boones first season. Clarks win totals in division play during her six years: 4, 6, 7, 11, 11, 13.

Boones departure leaves Clark searching for two head basketball coaches. Mens coach Mike Arnold was informed last week that his contract will not be renewed despite a just-completed 25-4 season.

For me, it was the right thing, Boone said. Im very comfortable. Its time to take care of me for a change. I even had some thoughts about it last year, but I had some kids coming back.
