Ann Arbor, Mich. — Defeats, discipline problems and dwindling attendance proved to be Brian Ellerbe's downfall at Michigan.
Ellerbe was fired Tuesday after four seasons as coach of the Wolverines, who went 10-18 overall and 4-12 in the Big Ten Conference this year.
"I did not see the improvement in the program over the past four years that I hoped for and that I believe is possible," athletics director Bill Martin said at a news conference. "I believe it is in the best interests of our student-athletes and the basketball program as a whole to have new leadership at this time."
