Marquette fires basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski after 7 seasons

MILWAUKEE — Marquette fired basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski on Friday after seven seasons in which he posted no NCAA Tournament victories.

Marquette went 13-14 for its first losing season since 2014-15, Wojciechowski’s debut season. The Golden Eagles’ season ended with a 68-49 loss to Georgetown in the first round of the Big East Tournament.

“After a thorough evaluation of our program over the last week, which included multiple conversations with Steve, I concluded that now is the right time for a new leader of our storied program,” Marquette athletic director Bill Scholl said in a statement. “I’m confident that our history of success and our commitment to developing young men who are leaders on and off the court will attract the highest caliber of coaching talent.
