Eric Reveno will not return as men's basketball head coach, UP's athletic department announced Tuesday morning.

The Pilots finished the season 12-20 and fell to Gonzaga 92-67 in the first round of the West Coast Conference Tournament on March 6.

Reveno coached the Pilots for the last 10 seasons. Since being hired by the Pilots in 2006, he coached Portland to four CIT appearances.

"I am very grateful for the opportunity given to me here at the University of Portland and will cherish the relationships built with players, faculty and staff over the years," Reveno said in a press release. "We strived to do things the right way, help players be their best, and win a championship. We were successful in two out of three areas. I believe the program is left on very solid ground and wish Portland tremendous success in the  future."

Reveno finished with a 140-178 overall record.

The athletic department will begin a national search for a head coach immediately.
