Nate Oats has resigned as the head UB men's basketball coach, the school announced Wednesday.
Oats has accepted the head coaching job at Alabama.
It comes on the heels of the Bulls' best season in program history, finishing with 32 wins, a MAC Championship, 15th in the final AP Poll and a first-round NCAA Tournament win.
Oats had just signed a contract extension, and was the MAC Coach of the Year the last two seasons.
Associate head coach Jim Whitesell will serve as interim head coach.
