TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Tulsa has fired men's basketball coach Doug Wojcik after seven seasons during which he recorded the most wins in school history.
Athletic director Ross Parmley called Sunday's move a business decision and cited sagging ticket sales and "growing apathy" among the fan base as the reasons for Wojcik's dismissal. Wojcik was 140-92 with the Golden Hurricane but never was able to take the program to the NCAA tournament.
Tulsa won the inaugural College Basketball Invitational postseason tournament in 2008 and went to the NIT the past two seasons.
Parmley says there has been a 35 percent drop-off in season ticket sales and a 43 percent decline in basketball revenue since Wojcik took over the program in 2005.
