Men's college basketball coaching changes for 2025-26

The 2024-25 men's college basketball season tipped in November with two interim head coaches: at Virginia, following Tony Bennett's unexpected retirement, and at South Florida, following Amir Abdur-Rahim's unexpected death. The coaching carousel began spinning then, with more teams joining -- or set to join at the end of the season.

Among the biggest of those jobs: Miami, Florida State, Indiana, Utah and Texas.

Duke assistant Jai Lucas being tapped to take over the Hurricanes is now old news -- along with Dallas Mavericks assistant Alex Jensen taking over at Utah and Sacramento Kings assistant Luke Loucks going to coach his alma mater, Florida State. So, too, is the news that came out on the first day of First Four games, that Indiana was hiring Darian DeVries away from West Virginia, after just one year with the Mountaineers. Will Wade agreed to join NC State after his 12-seeded McNeese Cowboys were eliminated from the NCAA tournament in the round of 32. And days after falling to Xavier in the First Four, Rodney Terry was fired at Texas -- and Musketeers head coach Sean Miller took the job in Austin. Richard Pitino took the Xavier job -- which means, yes, he'll be coaching against his father, Rick Pitino, in the Big East next season.

Kevin Willard spent Maryland's NCAA tournament run answering questions about whether he would take the Villanova job. He accepted it once the Terps were eliminated in the Sweet 16. Taking his place in College Park will be Buzz Williams, with Bucky McMillan bringing Buckyball to Texas A&M and the SEC.

We're tracking all of the coaching firing and hiring moves in the men's game for the 2025-26 season in one complete list below. Coaches considered interim are marked with an asterisk.

Meanwhile, Jeff Borzello is tracking all of the buzz and candidates as jobs open and close ahead of next season.
