Bob Nash has been fired as coach of the University of Hawaii's men's basketball team after posting a 34-56 record over three seasons.
University officials announced the move Monday.
Nash was a member of the "Fabulous Five,'' a group of UH basketball players during the 1970-71 and 1971-72 seasons that led the team to a 47-8 record, and made the postseason twice, including the school's first NCAA tournament appearance.
He became head coach in 2007 after 23 seasons as an assistant coach.

But he compiled a 10-20 record overall this season and a 3-13 record in the Western Athletic Conference.
The university will have to pay him approximately $240,000 to buy out the one year remaining on his contract.
