Jerome Tang fired for cause after 1-11 start to Big 12 play

By Ned Seaton and Tim Everson

Kansas State on Sunday fired Jerome Tang, deciding to part ways with a basketball coach whose tenure began with enormous promise and ended with fans wearing bags on their heads.

In doing so, K-State said the firing was “for cause,” claiming that Tang had violated the terms of his employment contract by publicly criticizing his players for lackluster effort in a home loss to Cincinnati.

Such a tactic, if it stands, would allow K-State to avoid paying Tang an $18.7 million buyout that he would be due if the firing were based solely on wins and losses.
