Damon Stoudamire will not return as basketball coach at Georgia Tech, ESPN reported Sunday.
The school is firing Stoudamire after the Yellow Jackets concluded their season with a 79-76 loss at Clemson on Saturday for their 12th straight loss.
Georgia Tech posted an 11-20 overall record and was 2-16 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Yellow Jackets finished last in the ACC and didn't qualify for the conference tournament.
ESPN said Stoudamire has $2.6 million and two years remaining on his contract.
Stoudamire, 52, had a 42-55 record in three seasons.
He was a Boston Celtics assistant coach when Georgia Tech hired him before the 2023-24 season. Before that, he compiled a 71-77 record in five seasons (2016-21) at Pacific.
An undersized guard in college at Arizona, Stoudamire was the No. 7 overall pick of the 1995 NBA Draft and spent 13 seasons in the NBA with the Toronto Raptors, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs.
He won NBA Rookie of the Year in 1996.
