 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Tommy Amaker maintained it was fair to expect Michigan to earn an NCAA tournament bid in his sixth season leading the basketball program. When the Wolverines fell short of that goal, athletic director Bill Martin decided it was time for a change.
"Letting Tommy go was the toughest decision I've had to make in seven years as athletic director," Martin told The Associated Press on Saturday. "He took over a program that needed help, and he helped it in a lot of ways.
"But at Michigan, we have a tradition of winning Big Ten and national championships and we haven't been close to doing either in a lot of ways."
