Former NBA standout Damon Stoudamire is out as head coach at Georgia Tech after three seasons.
Stoudamire is out at Georgia Tech after an 11-20 season. The Yellow Jackets lost their last 12 games in a row, which sealed the coach’s fate.
Stoudamire is still best remembered for his 13-year NBA career, primarily with the Portland Trail Blazers. His coaching career has been largely unsuccessful, and he was unable to re-establish the Yellow Jackets as a basketball program with national viability. He went 42-55 in three seasons and made the NIT once, losing in the first round.
This was Stoudamire’s second college head-coaching job, and it was no more successful than the first. He went 71-77 in five seasons as head coach at Pacific from 2016 to 2021.
