WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Wake Forest has fired men’s basketball coach Dino Gaudio after three seasons.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement hadn’t been made. The school called a 4:30 p.m. news conference Wednesday.
Gaudio was 61-31 at Wake Forest, including two straight trips to the NCAA tournament.
Wake Forest went 20-11 this season and lost to Kentucky in the second round. Two seasons ago, Wake opened 16-0 and was briefly ranked No. 1, before finishing 24-7 and being upset by No. 13 seed Cleveland State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Gaudio was hired in 2007 after coach Skip Prosser died from a heart attack.
