Syracuse dismissed men's basketball coach Adrian Autry after he failed to lead the program to the NCAA tournament in his three seasons. The Orange finished the 2023-24 season with a 15-17 record (6-12 ACC), losing their final six games and 12 of their last 15 contests to place 14th in the conference. Autry compiled a 49-48 overall record with a 24-34 conference mark. The team struggled significantly, losing 27 games by double digits and recording only four Quadrant 1 wins. Syracuse managed just one Quadrant 1 victory over the past two seasons. The firing occurred after an 86-69 first-round ACC tournament loss to SMU.
"I don't shy away from the job that I did. I'm harder on myself than anybody. I didn't get the results that we wanted. (Autry acknowledged underperformance following the season-ending loss, taking personal responsibility for the team's failure to meet expectations and achieve NCAA tournament qualification during his tenure.)"
"Autry, 54, went 49-48 at Syracuse, including a 24-34 record in conference play, unable to return a program that Jim Boeheim built into a national power to the NCAA tournament. The Orange lost 27 games by double digits while managing just four Quadrant 1 wins."
