Oregon ousts hoops coach Kent

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oregon Ducks have terminated the contract of men's head basketball coach Ernie Kent after 13 years guiding the program.

Kent had two years remaining on his contract but had been rumored to be out following a 15-15 regular season and 7-11 mark in the Pac-10. The Ducks went on to post an 82-80 overtime win against Washington State before falling in the quarterfinals of the conference tourney to California.

"This was not an easy decision for me, but unfortunately, when I looked at the past five to six years, I did not see the improvement and consistency that I had hoped for, and that we will need to move forward as we open our new arena and seek to re-energize and expand our season ticket base," said director of athletics Mike Bellotti.

"I would like to thank Ernie for his professionalism during a difficult time in his career, and certainly acknowledge his contribution to the growth of the basketball program."

Kent was the longest tenured coach in the Pac-10 Conference and became the school's all-time wins leader last season. In his 13 years at the helm, Kent compiled a 235-173 record, won two conference tournament crowns, one Pac-10 regular-season title and took the Ducks to five NCAA Tournaments where they reached the Elite Eight twice.

Kent spent six years as head coach at Saint Mary's prior to coming to Eugene and has a 325-253 career coaching ledger in 19 seasons at the NCAA Division I level.

The program announced it will immediately begin a national search to hire a replacement.
