The University of Iowa ended the speculation this afternoon by announcing Iowa head men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery has been let go after 15 seasons. It comes a day after the Hawkeyes second-round loss in the Big Ten Tournament. McCaffery was ejected from the game in the second half. Iowa’s record this season is 17-and-16.
McCaffery has the most victories in lowa history with 297, including a record 143 Big Ten wins. He has led the Hawkeyes to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and a Big Ten Tournament championship in 2022.
A National search for McCaffery’s replacement begins immediately.
