 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico basketball coach Ritchie McKay will be fired at the end of the season, the school said Thursday. McKay, who has three years remaining on his contract, and his assistants will continue coaching the Lobos until then.
New Mexico has three regular-season games remaining, starting Saturday at Utah, followed by the Mountain West tournament.
"Please don't be sad for me. It's just the close of a chapter," McKay said at a news conference. "I don't have any animosity toward Paul (Krebs, the athletic director) or the administration. If it's best they make a change. I'm going to support it and continue to root for the Lobos."
