Frank Haith was the coach of the Golden Hurricane.
Their season ended Friday with a 25-point loss to SMU.
Haith said in a news release that he has enjoyed his time at The University of Tulsa and that he has made us proud as student-athletes and as they have gone on to live their lives after college.
Over the last eight years, I have enjoyed coaching these young men and the chance to build long- lasting relationships with them. Pam and I have a lot of friends in the community. We would like to thank the community for their support of our program.
After three seasons at Missouri, where he led the Tigers to two NCAA tournament appearances, Frank Haith took over. The Golden Hurricane has won at least 12 games in four of the last five seasons. The program lost to Michigan in the First Four of the NCAA tournament in 2016 under the leadership of Frank Haith.
In the last two seasons, the Golden Hurricane has gone 4-14 in the American Athletic Conference and 11-20 in the regular season.
The last two years have been extremely challenging in moving the program forward. I wish the basketball program and the university good fortune.
In eight years, Haith went 139-108.
According to sources, St. John's coach Mike Anderson could be a target for Tulsa. Anderson was an assistant coach for three years before he became a coach.
