“This was a difficult decision because of the character and integrity that Brian has demonstrated throughout his time at Georgia Tech,” Georgia Tech Athletic Director Mike Bobinski said in a statement. “I have great respect for Brian as a person and for the effort he’s put forth on our behalf. He and the student-athletes under his direction have represented Georgia Tech in a first-rate manner and we’re greatly appreciative of the improvements he’s overseen in our program’s academic performance. However, as we look to the future, we believe a change in leadership is needed for our program to achieve higher and sustained levels of competitive success.”
Georgia Tech finished 21-15 last season and lost 72-56 to San Diego State on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the NIT. Georgia Tech failed to make the NCAA tournament in Gregory’s tenure.
Gregory coached the Flyers for eight seasons, compiling a 172-94 record from 2003-11. He guided the Flyers to the NCAA tournament twice and won the NIT championship in 2010.
