Stoudamire had spent three years as the Yellow Jackets head coach, finishing with a 42-55 record, including just 11-20 this season.
The team dropped 12 straight games before moving on from Stoudamire, who ESPN reported is still under contract for two more seasons.
Known as Mighty Mouse while a Raptor, Stoudamire is still Toronto’s career leader in assists and minutes per game, is second in steals per game and fifth in scoring per game.
He only spent about two and half seasons with the Raptors, but made his mark before forcing a trade to his hometown Portland Trail Blazers, where he would spend eight of his final 12 NBA seasons.
