"Kansas State is firing men's basketball coach Jerome Tang, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday, with the two sides still discussing the terms of his departure. In 2023, Tang signed a contract extension through the 2029-30 season, and there is still nearly $19 million remaining on his contract. The Wildcats dropped to 1-11 in Big 12 play with a 78-64 loss at No. 3 Houston on Saturday."
"They played the game without player names on the back of their jerseys, three days after a viral rant by Tang following a blowout home loss to Cincinnati. "These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform," Tang said after Wednesday's loss. "There will be very few of them in it next year. I'm embarrassed for the university, I'm embarrassed for our fans, our student section. It is ridiculous ... I have no answer. No words." Tang led Kansas State to the Elite Eight in his first year, winning 26 games -- the program's most since Bruce Weber's first season in 2013."
Kansas State is firing men's basketball coach Jerome Tang, with both sides negotiating the terms of his departure. Tang signed a contract extension in 2023 that runs through 2029-30 and still carries nearly $19 million. The Wildcats fell to 1-11 in Big 12 play after a 78-64 loss at No. 3 Houston and sit 10-15 overall, tied for last in the conference. Players wore jerseys without names following a viral Tang rant after a blowout loss to Cincinnati, and some fans wore bags over their heads during that game. Tang led the team to the Elite Eight in his first season but the program declined thereafter.
