+===== Professional Career =====
+Before resigning from his post in 2004, Avant served as Chicago State's Athletic Director and made the decision to fire [[maurice_bo_ellis|Bo Ellis]] during the 2002-03 season. At that point of the season, they compiled a 3-15 record and a 23-104 overall record under [[maurice_bo_ellis|Bo Ellis]]. Avant spoke of the former Marquette cager: "I appreciate all the effort and hard work of Bo Ellis in trying to rebuild the basketball program. He ran a first- class program and always had the students' interests first in mind, but he was not able to get ... the program to where he wanted it to go."\\ [[http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:sAiT5JZGZTAJ:findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4155/is_20030123/ai_n9616905+al+avant+basketball&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=11&gl=us|Bo Ellis Out as Cougars' Head Coach]]
