Buffalo fires men's basketball coach Jim Whitesell

Jim Whitesell is out as the University at Buffalo men’s basketball coach after his first losing season in four years on the job, the school announced Saturday.

“We felt it was necessary to make a change in leadership of our men’s basketball program.” athletic director Mark Alnutt said in a statement, adding he's launching a national coaching search immediately.

Whitesell was under contract through the 2024-25 season and is due to receive a $500,000 buyout under terms of his deal for being fired before April 5.
