By

    Men’s basketball head coach Bill Carmody will not return to the Wildcats next season, according to the Northwestern Sports official Twitter account.

    Carmody, whose 13th season ended Thursday following a 73-59 loss to Iowa, finally ran out of time in Evanston after failing to deliver an NCAA Tournament berth to the program.

    ESPN’s Andy Katz reports athletic director Jim Phillips is scheduled to meet with the team at 11 a.m. CST.

    A press conference has yet to be scheduled.

    Updated, 7:00 p.m.: Athletic director Jim Phillips made a statement and took questions from media at a press conference at 5:30 p.m. The decision to fire Bill Carmody was based off of all 13 years of his tenure, not just the 2012-13 season. Phillips will be in contact with senior forward Drew Crawford and commits Jaren Sina and Nate Taphorn about moving forward with a new coach.
