The women's basketball coach at the University of Minnesota Duluth resigned Monday. In a statement release to the Duluth News-Tribune through her attorney, Annette Wiles said "it is no longer healthy for me to continue to work in the current UMD athletic department environment."

Wiles is the third UMD women's coach to leave the school in recent months.

Women's hockey coach Shannon Miller was told in December that her contract would not be renewed; softball coach Jen Banford turned down a one-year contract offer from the school after being told that she would no longer continue her other job as director of women's hockey operations.

All three coaches are working with the same legal team. Complaints on behalf of Miller and Banford have already been filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.

Wiles' teams went to the NCAA Division II national tournament twice and went 12-15 this year, her only losing season since taking the job in 2008.

In December, Miller was called into a meeting with UMD officials and told that the school could no longer afford her contract, which had a base salary of $207,000. Her teams won five NCAA titles.

"This is a slap in the face to our gender," Miller told the Star Tribune's Rachel Blount in February. "I'm concerned about what this says to society about the value of women."
