After two seasons, John Brannen is out as men's basketball coach at the University of Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Director of Athletics John Cunningham announced Friday that Brannen has been "relieved of his duties effective immediately."
With Brannen no longer on the bench and the UC program in a holding pattern with four scholarship players on the roster, who does Cincinnati, which failed to advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010, turn to next in order to point the program back in the right direction?
"Tim Morris will serve as Interim Head Coach while we conduct a comprehensive nationwide search for a new leader of our men’s basketball program," Cunningham wrote in a letter to Bearcats fans.
