UConn parts ways with Kevin Ollie citing just cause

UConn has parted ways with Kevin Ollie, as the school announced it has "initiated disciplinary procedures" to fire the head coach.

"It is unfortunate that this decision became necessary," athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. "As with all of our programs, we hold men's basketball to the highest standards. We will begin a national search immediately to identify our next head coach."

The school announced in January that it was the subject of an NCAA investigation, but did not provide specific details. Hearst Connecticut Media cited unidentified sources saying the inquiry was related to recruiting.
