Syracuse fires coach Adrian Autry following 3 unsuccessful seasons in post-Jim Boeheim era

Adrian Autry has been fired as head basketball coach at Syracuse after three largely unsuccessful seasons. The school announced the decision Wednesday, one day after the Orange lost 86-69 to SMU in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. Syracuse lost its final six games and 12 of the last 15 under Autry to finish 15-17.
