Report: Jerry Stackhouse Fired as Vanderbilt HC; Significant Contract Buyout Expected

Former NBA star Jerry Stackhouse, who has coached the Vanderbilt men's basketball team for the past five seasons, will not be returning to the program after the university parted ways with him.

ESPN's Jeff Borzello reported the news on Stackhouse, who is expected to receive "a significant buyout." Stackhouse notably signed a contract extension before the 2022-23 season. Financial details were not made available due to Vanderbilt's status as a private institution, per Borzello.

The Commodores just completed a 9-23 season (4-14 SEC) that ended with a 90-85 loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the first round of the SEC tournament.
