Kevin Ollie will not return as the head men's basketball coach at the University of Connecticut after six seasons at the helm.
Per Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv, Connecticut said in a statement it has begun the process of firing Ollie for just cause:
"The University of Connecticut has initiated disciplinary procedures to terminate the employment of Head Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Ollie for just cause. The University will have no further comment on the matter until the completion of both the University’s disciplinary process and the ongoing NCAA investigation."
Ollie played at UConn from 1991 through 1995 and, after a 13-year NBA career, he returned to the program as an assistant in 2010 before taking over as head coach following Jim Calhoun's retirement in 2012.
