K-State Parts Ways with Tang Amid Tumbling Season
TL;DR
Kansas State fired head coach Jerome Tang for cause with six regular-season games left, as the Wildcats sit last in the Big 12 and have lost six straight. A $18.7 million buyout and Tang’s public comments were cited by athletic director Gene Taylor as reasons for the dismissal; Tang may contest the decision. Tang led the program to an Elite Eight in his first year, but the team has declined since, not reaching the NCAA Tournament since 2022-23. His final game was a 78-64 loss to Houston amid fan protests at Bramlage Coliseum.
