As others prepare for the NCAA tournament, Fordham is looking for a new men's basketball head coach.
The Rams fired Keith Urgo on Thursday, the university announced and will begin a “national search” for his successor.
Urgo was 50-49 in his three seasons at Fordham, but not in the NCAA Tournament.
After being promoted from associate head coach in April 2022 and Kyle Neptune replaced Villanova's Jaylight, Urgo breathed life into the program and led one of the best seasons of decades, finishing 25-8. The Rams lost to Dayton in the semi-finals of the Atlantic 10 tournament and did not participate in the postseason tournament.
Neptune was fired by Villanova since this season.
The past two seasons have been rough for the Rams, bringing the total to 25-41. This past season, Fordham went 3-15 in the conference, finishing last with an A-10.
The 44-year-old URGO has suspended four games this season to recruit violations. The Rams went 2-2 under URGO as part of their investigation with the NCAA. The Rams went 2-2 under associate head coach Treywoodall.
Fordham's season ended with an 88-81 defeat to George Washington in the second round of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
