ATLANTA - Anthony Witherspoon was fired Monday as Clark Atlanta University&#39;s basketball coach after a 10-15 season in which seven losses resulted from the use of two ineligible players. <br> <br> The Panthers, who self-reported the ineligible players to the NCAA, had a 13-16 record the previous season. In nine years at Clark Atlanta, Witherspoon&#39;s teams were 231-182, including one NCAA Regional appearance. <br> <br> ``While we appreciate the effort coach Witherspoon made on behalf of the program, we felt like the men&#39;s basketball program was beginning to regress,&#39;&#39; athletics director Brenda Edmond said.
