Matt McCall out as UMass men's basketball coach at end of season, school announces

UMass has fired men's basketball coach Matt McCall, the school announced Tuesday.

McCall will continue coaching the Minutemen through the conclusion of the Atlantic 10 tournament, according to a school statement.

"Matt poured himself in to this role and has been a great teammate and partner as we worked to build a championship program. Unfortunately, we have not met the results we desire on the court and I believe a change at the end of the season is in the best interest of the program," UMass athletic director Ryan Bamford said in a statement. "I am grateful that Matt and I shared a mutual desire to have him finish the 2021-2022 campaign with the men in our program over the coming weeks.
