Auburn dismisses Lebo
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2010 - Auburn, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Auburn University has dismissed its head men's basketball coach.
The school announced on Friday that Jeff Lebo, who has helmed the program for the last six seasons, will no longer be behind the Tigers' bench.
"I want to thank Coach Lebo for all that he has done for Auburn University over the past six years," said director of athletics Jay Jacobs. "He has always worked hard and has always represented Auburn with character, class and integrity."
Under Lebo's guidance, the Tigers finished 15-17 this past season, with a 6-10 mark in the SEC, only good enough for a fifth-place in the West Division with rival Alabama. Auburn fell in the SEC Tournament to Florida on Thursday to complete its schedule.
Despite a 14-17 record in his first year back in 2004-05, the school saw fit to reward Lebo with a seven-year contract. He didn't post a winning record until a 17-15 end to the 2006-07 campaign, then went 14-16 three years ago before a high-water mark of 24-12 in 2008-09.
Over six seasons, Lebo finished with a 96-93 record and a dismal 35-61 mark in the SEC.
