Breaking: Kevin Ollie let go at UConn

Kevin Ollie has been fired “for just cause” as the head coach of the UConn men’s basketball team after six seasons.

The Huskies just finished up their second straight sub-.500 season. Overall Ollie coached the Huskies to a 127-79 record, including winning the national title in 2014.

“It is unfortunate that this decision became necessary. As with all of our programs, we hold men’s basketball to the highest standards. We will begin a national search immediately to identify our next head coach,” UConn AD David Benedict said in a statement.
