Statesboro, GA (Sports Network) – Georgia Southern fired head men’s basketball coach Charlton “C.Y.” Young after four seasons on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Eagles finished 14-19 overall and went 7-11 in Southern Conference play. Their season came to an end with Saturday’s loss in the quarterfinals of the SoCon Tournament.<\/p>\n
“Charlton Young represents Georgia Southern with the utmost character. He has done a tremendous job with taking a program that had some trouble when he arrived and getting it to a level of respectability,” said athletic director Tom Kleinlein. “At the same time, I felt where we needed to go is beyond where we are at right now and that a change in leadership is necessary.”<\/p>\n
Young compiled a 48-34 record in four seasons with the Eagles, including a 26-46 mark in conference games.<\/p>\n
A former three-time all-conference player at Georgia Southern, Young took over a program in 2009 that faced two years of NCAA probation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
