Coaching changes

[edit]

Many teams will change coaches during the season and after it ends.

Team Former
Interim
New
Reason
South Florida Amir Abdur-Rahim Ben Fletcher The 43-year-old Abdur-Rahim passed away on October 24, 2024, just 11 days before beginning his second season as South Florida head coach, following complications during a medical procedure at a Tampa hospital. In his first and only season at USF, he led the team to a school record 25 wins, an American Athletic Conference regular season championship, and was named AAC Coach of the Year.[15] 5 days after his death, Bulls associate head coach Fletcher was named interim head coach for the season.[16]
Virginia Tony Bennett Ron Sanchez Virginia announced on October 17, 2024 that Bennett had retired, effective immediately, and made a formal announcement the next day. Bennett leaves the Cavaliers after 15 seasons as the winningest head coach of the program with 364 wins, 10 NCAA tournament appearances, six ACC regular-season titles, two ACC tournament championships, and a national title in 2019.[17] Associate head coach Sanchez, who rejoined the staff last season after spending the past 5 seasons as Charlotte head coach, was named interim head coach for the season.[18]
