The 2025-26 NCAA men's basketball season is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic in recent memory, with significant coaching changes across major programs. The coaching carousel began spinning early, with several high-profile vacancies and new hires already making headlines.

Key Coaching Moves

• Miami Hurricanes: Jai Lucas, formerly a Duke assistant, is set to take over the reins once the regular season concludes.
• Florida State Seminoles: Luke Loucks, a Sacramento Kings assistant, will return to his alma mater to lead the Seminoles.
• Utah Utes: Alex Jensen, currently with the Dallas Mavericks, will be the new head coach.
• Indiana Hoosiers: Darian DeVries leaves West Virginia after just one year to take on the challenge at Indiana.

Notable Departures
