ATLANTA — Georgia Tech fired men’s basketball coach Damon Stoudamire on Sunday, one day after the Yellow Jackets’ season ended with a 12-game losing streak.
Athletic director Ryan Alpert announced the move after the Yellow Jackets finished 11-20 overall and 2-16 in the Atlantic Coast Conference with Saturday’s 79-76 loss at Clemson.
The Yellow Jackets finished last in the 18-team standings for the conference, failing to qualify for the 15-team ACC tournament that tips off Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, as Stoudamire was unable to solve the late-season skid.
Stoudamire was fired after going 42-55 in three seasons with the Atlanta program, including 19-39 in ACC play.
“On behalf of Georgia Tech, I want to thank Damon for his commitment to the Institute, our men’s basketball program and, most importantly, our student-athletes,” Alpert said in a statement released by the school. “He is highly respected and admired throughout the Georgia Tech community and has been a strong representative of the Institute. We wish him the very best.
