The Jerome Tang era has come to an abrupt end at Kansas State. On Sunday, the Wildcats decided to part ways with Tang even though six games remain in the regular season. The move comes as a surprise, if only because of its timing. K-State athletic director Gene Taylor is not usually one to fire a coach in the middle of a season. But the end did seem near for Tang, as the losses have really piled up for the Wildcats this year. “This was a decision that was made in the best interest of our university and men’s basketball program,” Taylor said in a statement. “Recent public comments and conduct, in addition to the program’s overall direction, have not aligned with K-State’s standards for supporting student-athletes and representing the university.” Taylor confirmed at a news conference Sunday night that K-State is firing Tang “for cause.” Tang could fight K-State’s decision in court. In a statement, he said he is “deeply disappointed” and “strongly” disagrees with the characterization of his firing. Read more about the reasons for the decision at the link in our bio.
