March is here and the carousel’s already spinning and picking up coaches at an unprecedented rate.
In fact, we didn’t even get through the first week without three hirings. It’s a signal to where we’re at in the portal era. You can read those stories below:
» Miami has plucked Duke assistant Jai Lucas as its next coach
» Utah alum Alex Jensen is leaving the Mavericks to coach his alma mater
» FSU alum Luke Loucks is also in line to be hired in Tallahassee
Three down … so, so many to go. New to the list Sunday: NC State. You can read our newser on Kevin Keatts’ firing here.
Other news from the weekend: Steve Prohm is out at Murray State after three years (and his second stint there) and Russell Springmann got sacked after just two seasons at Oral Roberts.
This story is where you’ll find our ever-updating men’s college basketball coaching tracker. Over the next month-plus, this piece will get dozens of updates. Carousel intel, sourced info, inevitably debunking some rumors and the latest on what’s happening off the court amid the busiest month of the year in college hoops: you’ll find it all here.
Sixteen jobs are set to change as of now and that number is going to climb quickly over the next five days. We’ll almost definitely hit at least 40 coaching moves in this cycle — and 50-plus wouldn’t be a surprise at all. That said, don’t expect 2025 to hit the levels of absurdity that 2024 did, when there was a record 68 job swaps. Be sure to bookmark this page. It will get daily updates moving forward.
