BC fires Skinner


Mar 30, 2010 - Head coach Al Skinner has been fired as head coach of Boston College, according to the Globe. The official announcement is expected at 3 p.m. ET Tuesday.

Skinner has been the head coach since 1997, and led the team to seven NCAA Tournament appearances during his tenure. He has the most wins all-time at BC (247-165, overall). The team finished under .500 in two of its last three seasons, however, including a 15-16 overall record and just six in-conference wins this year.

The Globe reports that the school has already requested permission to speak with Richmond coach Chris Mooney and Cornell's Steve Donahue, both of whom are hot commodities after resurrected the programs at their respective schools.
