University at Buffalo Vice President and Director of Athletics Mark Alnutt announced today that Jim Whitesell will not be returning as head men’s basketball coach.
“At this time, we felt it was necessary to make a change in leadership of our men’s basketball program,” Alnutt said. “We want to thank Jim for his eight years at UB, including the last four as our head coach. We wish he and Connie nothing but the very best moving forward.”
Alnutt confirmed a national search will commence immediately.
