Billy Donlon and Wright State have parted ways, sources told NBCSports.com.

Donlon had been the head coach of the Raiders for the past six seasons. In 2016, he finished the year with 22 wins, going 13-5 in the Horizon League -- which was tied for second -- and reaching the final of the conference tournament.

After the 2015 season, Donlon turned over his assistant coaches, hiring a new staff; his father, the Director of Basketball Ops, being the only member that returned. The Raiders had won just three Horizon League games that season.

The program had been to three Horizon League title games in the last four years.
