This feels like Black Monday the day after the NFL’s regular season ends. There are plenty of changes being made across the collegiate landscape in men’s basketball. Buffalo has joined the coaching carousel according to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein.
Rothstein reports that the Buffalo Bulls have parted ways with Jim Whitesell. Whitesell has been the head coach since 2019 after being promoted from an associate head coach.
In four seasons with Buffalo, the long-time head coach was 70-49 and 45-27 in MAC play. This was the first season in his tenure where Whitesell didn’t finish with a winning record. Prior to joining Buffalo, he was an assistant with Saint Louis from 2011 to 2013 and St. John’s from 2013 to 2015.

This is another program that will have a new head coach in charge of a program when the 2023-24 season tips off in November. Already we have seen St. John’s, Georgetown, and Georgia Tech make moves with their head coaches in the last couple of days.
