Former Arizona Wildcats great Damon Stoudamire is out as head coach of Georgia Tech after three seasons at school.
Georgia Tech made the decision Sunday to fire Stoudamire, one day after the Yellow Jackets finished the regular season with an 11-20 record and a 2-16 mark in the ACC. Greg Gary will serve as interim coach. Georgia Tech, which finished last in the ACC, did not qualify for the league tournament.
Georgia Tech owes Stoudamire $2.6 million over the next two years, ESPN reported.
The Yellow Jackets showed promise in Stoudamire’s first two seasons. Georgia Tech finished 14-18 in 2023-24, highlighted by a win over Duke. In 2024-25 the Yellow Jackets went 17-17 and made the first round of the NIT.
Georgia Tech was a disaster this season, however, losing its last 12 games.
Stoudamire was hired by Georgia Tech while serving as an assistant on the Boston Celtics staff. Prior to that, he spent five years as head coach at Pacific, where he went 71-77. Stoudamire previously served as an assistant at Memphis and Arizona.
He is the second ex-UA player that Georgia Tech fired as its basketball coach. Josh Pastner, now at UNLV, went 109-114 in Atlanta from 2016-23.
In 2021 Arizona interviewed Stoudamire for the Wildcats head coaching job. The UA hired Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd instead.
Stoudamire played four seasons at Arizona (1991-95), taking the Wildcats to the 1993-94 Final Four and earning First-Team All-American honors the following year as a senior.
While most states’ minimum wage rates exceed federal law, the Peach State has fallen behind.

Georgia proudly claims the title of No. 1 state for business for the 12th year running. But if Georgia is such a great place to do business, why are so many of its workers struggling to get by?
On January 1, 2026, 19 states raised their minimum wage rates. California went to $16.90. New York City hit $17. Georgia? Georgia kept its state minimum wage right where it’s been for decades: $5.15 an hour.

An updated version of ESPN’s bracketology for the NCAA Tournament has been released, per Joe Lunardi.
Georgia is currently listed as a 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Dawgs have been red hot as of late, as Georgia was able to defeat No. 16 Alabama in Athens in what was a massive upset. Star sophomore Kanon Catchings was great in the win over the Tide, as the talented forward recorded an extremely impressive 32 points.
Georgia currently holds an overall record of 21-9 with just one game on the regular season schedule remaining. The Dawgs could make a run in both the SEC and NCAA Tournament later this month, as Georgia finds themselves listed as a No. 8 seed in March Madness projections following the upset over Alabama. Georgia is projected to play No. 9 seed NC State in the San Diego region with the winner likely playing No. 1 seeded Arizona.
The Dawgs will face Mississippi State on the road in Starkville on Saturday afternoon, as Georgia is widely considered to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament following an impressive string of victories throughout the second half of SEC play.
Georgia’s win over Alabama improved their SEC record to 9-8, as the Dawgs will look to end the regular season on an authoritative note against the other Bulldogs.
