Tulsa, Okla. - Buzz Peterson has resigned his position as head basketball coach at The University of Tulsa today after one season at the coaching helm, announced TU's Director of Athletics Judy MacLeod.

Peterson guided the Golden Hurricane to the NIT Championship and an overall 26-11 record. Tulsa posted a 10-6 mark in the Western Athletic Conference and finished in second-place in the league race.

In five seasons as a collegiate head coach, Peterson has registered a 105-50 record. He became just the fourth coach in school history to win 20 games in his first season as head coach, and tied Nolan Richardson as the winningest first year coach in school history.

A native of Asheville, North Carolina, Peterson was appointed as Tulsa's 27th head basketball coach on June 20, 2000.
