Kansas State University has fired men's basketball coach Jerome Tang after four seasons, amid a disappointing 10-15 record and a 1-11 mark in Big 12 play. The decision follows a 78-64 loss to No. 3 Houston and comes days after Tang's viral postgame rant criticizing his team following a 91-62 defeat to Cincinnati. Tang's buyout exceeds $18 million, with the school attempting to terminate him for cause.
The University of Pittsburgh has dismissed women's basketball coach Tory Verdi after three seasons with a 29-66 record. The decision follows a 50-point loss to NC State and comes weeks after a lawsuit from former players alleging a hostile environment. Athletic director Allen Greene cited insufficient competitive progress as the reason for the change.
