Felton joins Gottfried on coaching sidelines

Georgia plans to announce Dennis Felton is no longer its men’s basketball coach. The announcement will come at an 11 a.m. news conference.

Felton joins Alabama’s Mark Gottfried as Southeastern Conference coaches who were dismissed at mid-season.

Felton made his biggest splash last spring when he guided the underdog Bulldogs to the SEC Tournament championship.

However, Georgia never finished higher than fifth place in the SEC Eastern Division in his six seasons.

On Monday, Gottfried resigned as Alabama coach amid growing complaint.
