Buffalo News: UB men's basketball coach Jim Whitesell out after four seasons
“Hired as coach of the Bulls in April of 2019 to succeed Nate Oats, who took the same job at Alabama, Whitesell was 70-49 in four seasons, including 45-27 in the MAC.
The Bulls were 15-17 and 9-9 in the Mid-American Conference during the regular season, and were the No. 6 seed in the eight-team MAC Tournament. UB won three of its last four games, but finished under .500 for the first time since the 2012-13 season, when it went 14-20.
Whitesell served as Oats’ associate head coach for four seasons.
