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 has been tapped to take over the Hurricanes once the regular season ends, while Dallas Mavericks assistant Alex Jensen will become the Utes' new head coach and Sacramento Kings assistant Luke Loucks will take over at his alma mater, Florida State. On the first day of First Four games in the 2025 NCAA tournament, Indiana announced it 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.

The carousel is spinning, and 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.
