Hawaii fires men's basketball coach Nash

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - The University of Hawaii announced Monday it has fired head men's basketball coach Bob Nash.

Hawaii went 10-20 and did not qualify for the Western Athletic Conference Tournament this season, Nash's third as head coach. The Rainbow Warriors went 34-56 overall, with a 15-33 WAC record, under Nash.

"Ultimately this comes down to a business decision based on win-loss record, not on Bob Nash's character or how well he performed in the other aspects of the program," said Hawaii athletics director Jim Donovan.

Prior to becoming head coach, Nash spent 20 years as associate coach at Hawaii under Riley Wallace. Nash also played for Hawaii's "Fabulous Five" teams in the 1970-71 and 1971-72 seasons, during which the team went 47-8 and earned the school's first NCAA Tournament berth.

"This was a very tough decision," Donovan said. "No person has shown more dedication to University [of] Hawaii basketball than Bob Nash. He has always been a class act and we are grateful for the way he has represented our school and for the example he has set for our student-athletes. He may no longer be our coach, but he will forever be a Rainbow Warrior."

The school said a national search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
