CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Pitt has fired women's basketball coach Lance White after five seasons.

The Panthers' program is going a different direction just two days after the Panthers lost 71-53 to Clemson in the first round of the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, N.C. Pitt finished 10-20 overall and 3-15 within the ACC, which was last in the regular-season standings.

"Coach White has been wholeheartedly dedicated to the betterment of his student-athletes and women's basketball at Pitt," athletic director Heather Lyke said in a statement. "I'm extremely grateful for his efforts and wish him only the very best moving forward, both personally and professionally.
