Wesley Person, the former Auburn and NBA player, has been fired from his head coaching job at Enterprise (Ala.) State Community College effective next month, and according to the Dothan Eagle, he's having trouble finding out the reason for his dismissal.

In fact, the firing was so sudden that it came during a meeting with athletic director Jeffrey Coats that Person had called to talk about his plans entering his second season coaching the team.

"Before I said anything, he said, 'As of now, your duties are no longer needed,'" Person said when contacted Wednesday. "I have no reason why he felt that way.

"I asked and was given no explanation. I know I've done everything by the book.

"I don't know what happened to get to this point."

Person said he went to Coats office again on Wednesday morning in hopes of getting an explanation, but was told Coats would not be able to see him.

Person then said Coats called him later in the day on his cell phone.

"I said, 'Can I come into meet with you face to face?' and he said, 'No,'" Person said. “He said my last day is Aug. 20."
