TAMPA, FLA., MARCH 10, 2023 – University of South Florida Head Men’s Basketball Coach Brian Gregory has been relieved of his duties effective immediately, Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Kelly announced today.
Gregory concludes his six-year tenure leading the Bulls men’s basketball program with a 79-107 overall record.
“Brian has been a true ambassador for the University of South Florida,” Kelly said. “Ultimately, our head coaches and programs are judged by on-court success, and we have not lived up to our expectations for men’s basketball. We thank Brian and his family for all they have done for USF and wish them the very best in their journey.”
Kelly has commenced a national search for a new leader of the men’s basketball program and appointed assistant coach Larry Dixon as interim head coach.
