"Stoudamire's tenure ends after a 12-game losing streak to close the season left Georgia Tech with an 11-20 overall record and a 2-16 mark in conference play. He finished his three seasons with a 42-44 overall record with the Yellow Jackets."
"Georgia Tech has made just one NCAA tournament appearance since 2010. The move for Georgia Tech comes at a time when the school found competitiveness in football under coach Brent Key, but the school has failed to find consistent basketball success."
"This season, Georgia Tech simply couldn't get out of a downward spiral. The Yellow Jackets trailed Virginia 42-9 in a February loss -- a low point in the 12-game losing streak, which concluded Saturday at Clemson and left Georgia Tech without a spot in the ACC tournament."
Georgia Tech has terminated basketball coach Damon Stoudamire following a disappointing 11-20 season highlighted by a 12-game losing streak that concluded with no ACC tournament berth. Over three seasons, Stoudamire compiled a 42-44 record, with performance declining each year despite an initial upset of No. 7 Duke and an NIT appearance in year two. The dismissal occurs as Georgia Tech seeks basketball competitiveness comparable to recent football success under coach Brent Key. The school owes Stoudamire $2.6 million over two years, subject to offset provisions. New athletic director Ryan Alpert, hired from Tennessee, signals continued program investment moving forward.
