South Florida Fires Brian Gregory After 6 Seasons

South Florida announced Friday it had fired head men’s basketball coach Brian Gregory after six seasons, five of which came with a losing record.

Gregory, 56, went 79-107 in six seasons at USF. He previously coached five years at Georgia Tech, going 78-56, and eight at Dayton, going 172-94.

“Brian has been a true ambassador for the University of South Florida,” USF AD Mike Kelly said in a statement. “Ultimately, our head coaches and programs are judged by on-court success, and we have not lived up to our expectations for men’s basketball. We thank Brian and his family for all they have done for USF and wish them the very best in their journey.”

The school said it will conduct a national search for a replacement and appointed assistant coach Larry Dixon as interim head coach.
