Firings watch.

Playing catch-up here. Sorry for drawing heavily on the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, but I’m having trouble finding better links.

Patrick Ewing out as head basketball coach of Georgetown. Six years, 75-109.

Mark Fox out as head coach of the California Golden Bears. Four seasons:

The Golden Bears finished their season Wednesday with a first-round Pac-12 tournament loss to Washington State that dropped them to 3-29 on the season. They went 2-18 in Pac-12 play.

Mark Adams resigned as head coach of the Texas Tech men’s basketball team. I’m calling this a “firing” because he was suspended eight days ago for making an “inappropriate, unacceptable, and racially insensitive comment.”

According to the school, Adams was encouraging a player to be more receptive to coaching and “referenced Bible verses about workers, teachers, parents, and slaves serving their masters.” Adams apologized to the team immediately after the comment, the school said.

Jim Boeheim out as men’s basketball coach of Syracuse. This one is weird: I can’t tell if it is a firing or a retirement. It feels like a “mutually agreed” retirement.

47 seasons, 1,015-441 overall in his career, and the second best record as a Division I coach. (Mike Krzyzewski is the record holder.)
