Cincinnati has fired men's basketball coach John Brannen, reports Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde. The Athletic's Justin Williams was first to report the firing.
The university previously opened an investigation in March and suspended Brannen on April 3 after six players—including four members of the 2020 freshman class—entered the transfer portal in a span of a few days due to a rift with Brannen.
Tim Morris will serve as interim head coach while the university searches for a replacement.
Cincinnati athletic director John Cunningham wrote in a statement that the program decided to move on from Brannen, per Williams.
