  1. Pavićević left in December 1997.
  2. Ludwig got fired in 1997 after one of the losses. His firing came before the Korać Cup round-of-32 return leg at home against Mens Sana Siena in which Red Star was chasing a 9 point deficit from the first game. The return game was played in Novi Sad because Hala Pionir was busy with something else and, led by newly arrived head coach Lučić, Red Star ended up winning by 18 points and thus overcoming the deficit and moving on to the Korać Cup round-of-16.
  3. In an unprecedented move, Lučić was fired in the early morning hours of 7 May 1998 after the game 2 loss to FMP Železnik during the ongoing YUBA league playoff finals. The series score was tied at 1-1 at the time of his firing. Red Star went on to win the series by winning next two games versus Železnik with returning head coach Pavićević at the helm and thus become the champion of FR Yugoslavia.
  4. Pavićević got fired 27 September 1998, two days following a 66-69 home loss on September 25 to Cibona in Euroleague. He got replaced by his assistant Bora Džaković.
  5. Džaković got fired on 3 November 1998 after getting eliminated from the Yugoslav Cup on November 1. He didn't fare much better in Euroleague as the club had a 0-5 record at the time of his firing.
  6. Antonić and Red Star part company on 10 October 1999. The club sat well in domestic league (two wins out of two games), but fared poorly in Euroleague.
  7. Milatović got fired on 8 November 1999 following a crushing defeat to FMP Železnik in the Yugoslav Cup. In total, his head coaching stay at the club was less than a month.
  8. Lučić resigned as head coach in early February 2000 after six consecutive losses in a row (2 in Euroleague, and 4 in YUBA league). He then temporarily decided to stay after talking to club president Vojislav Stojaković. Finally, on 22 February 2000 it was decided that Lučić would stay with the club in managerial capacity while his assistant Stevan Karadžić took over as head coach.
  9. Karadžić got fired on 7 February 2001 following a Saporta Cup round-of-16 return leg incident in Antwerp versus Telindus RB Antwerpen where the players of two teams got into an infamous on-court brawl. Domestically, the club was in complete disarray, facing a relegation threat.
  10. First time coach Trifunović performed the role only formally while all coaching decisions were made by sporting director Zmago Sagadin.
  11. Sagadin got fired November 2, 2004 following a crushing defeat to KK Partizan in week 9 of the 2004/05 Adriatic League season.
  12. Šakota and Red Star parted ways on 4 March 2007 following a series of losses in the Adriatic League, elimination from the domestic Cup, and quarter-final elimination from ULEB Cup. Šakota resigned wanting to be let out of his contract and the club accommodated him. His assistant Stevan Karadžić took over the main bech role.
  13. Karadžić resigned on 18 April 2008, one day before the club's game against eternal rivals KK Partizan. He cited "poor situation in the club" as the reason for his decision to leave.
  14. Aco Petrović resigned his post on 23 December 2009 due to difficult financial and organizational situation at the club. Aleksandar Trifunović was brought in as replacement.link
  15. Mihailo Uvalin got fired mid-March 2011. His firing came on the heels of various manifestations of disarray in the club such as the players' strike due to unpaid wages and fan protests.link
  16. Milivoje Lazić got fired on 4 October 2012 after two consecutive losses in the first two games at the start of the 2012-13 Adriatic League season. He was replaced with Vlada Vukoičić.link
