Rutgers has parted ways with Eddie Jordan after three seasons, sources told ESPN.
Jordan, 61, took over the program in 2013 following the firing of Mike Rice. Rice was with the Scarlet Knights for three seasons before ESPN's Outside the Lines aired footage of him verbally abusing and throwing balls at his players during practices.
Jordan coached one season in the American Athletic Conference and two seasons in the Big Ten. He was 29-68 overall after the Scarlet Knights struggled to a 7-25 record in 2015-16. They finished last in the Big Ten, winning just one conference game.
He signed a six-year contract when he accepted the job.
Jordan was a longtime NBA player and coach, playing for five professional franchises during his seven-year career. He served as coach with theWashington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings, spending time as an assistant coach on the staffs of the Kings, New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Lakers. He was also an assistant coach at Boston College and Rutgers, where he played from 1973 to 1977.
