After 40 seasons, Boston University coach Jack Parker said he is leaving the program on his own terms.

This season will be his last, Parker announced at a news conference Monday, one day after the news broke.

“It’s been a great run,” Parker said Monday, his 68th birthday. “I’ve had a great time doing it.”

Parker is in his 40th season as head coach at his alma mater. He has an 894-471-115 career record and won national championships in 1978, 1995 and 2009.
