La Salle splits with coach John Giannini after 14 years

PHILADELPHIA (AP) La Salle split with basketball coach John Giannini on Friday following a 13-19 finish in his 14th season.

The school said in a statement the Explorers and the coach have "mutually agreed to part ways," and a search for a new coach has begun.

"John is a great guy, always with the best interests of his student-athletes at heart, and he did his very best to advance the men's basketball program at La Salle," said athletic director Bill Bradshaw, who lauded Giannini for his players' academic success.
