Matt Garrison, the 2012-13 bj-league Coach of the Year, has not been retained for next season.
The Niigata Albirex BB made the announcement on Monday, eight days after the team's season ended.
Albirex GM Manabu Kosuge and Garrison met early last week after the season wrapped up and the Eastern Conference regular-season champion's Final Four appearance at Ariake Colosseum. Garrison described it as a positive, forthright meeting, but said he was not offered a contract for 2013-14.
