The whiplash of the first weekend of the 2023 NCAA men’s basketball tournament is now behind us, and aside from 16 teams — for whom everything is pretty Sweet right now — and a handful of teams competing in other postseason tournaments like the NIT, the season is over for most of the country.
Among other things, that means coaching changes and lots of them. We saw some openings that were more or less expected, like Jim Boeheim’s retirement at Syracuse after 47 seasons or the merciful end of a doomed tenure at Georgetown for former Hoya and NBA superstar Patrick Ewing.
The latter opening led to one of several major moves in the Big East that will shake up the coaching dynamics in the conference moving forward.
Several dominoes have already fallen in this cycle of the coaching carousel, and there will surely be more to come. Here, we’ll keep you posted on all the major hires in college basketball this offseason.
Update: Though it was reported Mike Brey would be hired at South Florida, the former Notre Dame coach told ESPN that he was not offered the job and will take time off to pursue television opportunities.
