SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (AP) - Seton Hall fired basketball coach Louis Orr on Friday, a little more than a week after the Pirates lost by 20 points in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

Orr coached Seton Hall for five seasons and had two years left on his contract.

"I have evaluated the basketball program thoroughly and discussed it with Louis," athletic director Joe Quinlan said. "As a result, we could not agree on critical issues related to the management of the program."

Orr was 80-69 at Seton Hall. He led the Pirates to the NCAA tournament twice and to the NIT in 2003, but came under fire after finishing 12-16 a year ago.

This season Seton Hall finished 18-12, defeating Top 25 teams Pittsburgh and West Virginia late in the season but losing to Notre Dame, St. John's and DePaul and nearly missing the Big East tournament. The Pirates' season ended with an 86-66 loss to Wichita State in the first round of the NCAAs on March 16.
