Cornell fires coach Bill Courtney

Men's College Basketball, Cornell Big Red

Cornell has parted ways with Bill Courtney, the school announced Monday.

"I appreciate Coach Courtney's diligent efforts and his dedication to our student-athletes over the past six years," athletic director Andy Noel said in a statement. "He is a first-class individual and I wish him success in his future endeavors."

Courtney, 45, was the head coach of the Big Red for five seasons. He was 50-95 heading into this campaign, and this season Cornell went 10-18, and 3-11 in the Ivy League.

Cornell was just 2-26 in 2013-14, and the team never finished above .500 under Courtney -- who replaced Steve Donahue when Donahue left for Boston College.

Courtney had previously been an assistant coach at Virginia Tech, Virginia, Providence, George Mason, Bowling Green and American.
