In his statement, Carr expressed gratitude for his time with the program but emphasized his desire to focus on other priorities. “This has been one of the toughest decisions of my life,” Carr said. “I love this team and what we’ve built together, but it’s time for me to step away and pursue new challenges.”
Mark Pope, visibly emotional during a press conference, acknowledged the impact of Carr’s departure. “Andrew isn’t just a great player — he’s a great person. We’re heartbroken but support him fully in his journey,” Pope said.
