Vice Chancellor for Athletics, Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Karlton Creech said that Billups’ five-year contract expired after this past season.

We are thankful for Rodney’s service and dedication to the program and its student-athletes,” Creech said. “We wish him and his family the best in his future endeavors.”

Billups finished 48-94 in five seasons at his alma mater, including 23-53 in Summit League play. Denver was 31-29 in Billups first two seasons, earning the third seed in his second season at the 2018 Summit League Championship.

The program finished last season with a 2-19 record.

In a press release the University of Denver said it will conduct a national search for Billups’ replacement.
