Hill had six years left on 10-year deal

ESPN.com news services

NEW YORK -- Bob Hill is out as Fordham men's basketball coach after the Rams had the worst record in school history, 2-26.

The former NBA coach had six years left on a 10-year deal.

Hill and the school released a joint statement Wednesday that said they "amicably agreed to end their contractual relationship."

The Rams finished last season with 15 straight losses. Hill never had a winning record in four seasons at the school, going 36-78 overall.

He was a head coach with the Knicks, Pacers and Spurs. He most recently guided San Antonio from 1994-97, leading the Spurs to two Midwest Division championships.

Fordham has not had a winning season since 1991-92, when Nick Macarchuk led the Rams to the NCAA Tournament and an 18-13 record.

Maryland assistant Jimmy Patsos, Providence assistant Steve DeMeo, Connecticut assistant Tommy Moore and Villanova assistant Fred Hill all will have interest in the Fordham job, ESPN.com has learned.

Fordham might look to a more experienced head coach like Boston University's Dennis Wolff or Davidson's Bob McKillop, who is from New York. Former North Carolina coach Matt Doherty might also be considered a candidate.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
