Deane has spent 26 years as a head coach, compiling a record of 437-332. He has guided three schools to the NCAA Tournament during his career.
"We thank Mike for his contributions as head basketball coach at Wagner," said Wagner athletics director Walt Hameline. "I admire him greatly as a human being and for the knowledge, competitiveness and passion he brought to the program. At the end of the day, I decided it was time make a change and go in a different direction."
