UH athletics director Herman Frazier, who is on the Mainland, also will hold a conference call with the media at 2 p.m.
Wallace, in his 20th season as head coach of the program, declined to comment last night when asked about today's announcement. A clause in his contract states that this will be his final season as head coach.
However, Wallace has been vague about his retirement plans, hinting that he may not be ready to leave the program.
Also, athletic director Herman Frazier has not made any official announcements about Wallace's status, or the possibility of a selection committee to find a replacement.
