Loras athletic director Denise Udelhofen announced on Tuesday, March 1 that head men's basketball coach Greg Gorton had been relieved of his duties effective immediately.
"We are grateful to Greg for his service and dedication to the men's basketball program over the past 13 years, both as a head coach and as an assistant," Udelhofen said.
Loras was 13-13 this past season, falling in the first round of the Iowa Conference tournament to Central, the eventual conference tournament champion. The Duhawks were .500 or better twice in the past three season.
