With the off-season approaching, the 2022 men’s basketball carousel is already moving at a steady pace. As of Thursday evening, there are 22 jobs that have changed, will change, or had temporary coaches who have been promoted full-time.
Two of the jobs expected to flip occurred on Thursday. Bruce Weber announced his retirement from Kansas State after 10 years. In Georgia, the school broke off relations with Tom Crean in four years. Potential candidates for both of these discoveries can be found in the capsules below.
Speaking to various sources over the past couple of weeks, it’s fair to expect at least half a dozen more power conference positions to open in the next week or so. The SEC is expected to be the league with the most changes, with the potential for up to six jobs (although I’d be surprised if there were more than four). Georgia is the first; Industry sources said there will be more soon.
One coach received good news on Thursday. After Stanford lost to Arizona in the Pac-12 quarterfinals, Stanford AD Bernard Muir announced that Jarod Haase will return for a seventh season. Speculation about Haase’s future intensified strongly behind the scenes on Thursday before Muir put a stop to those speculations.
There are currently four jobs with vacancies at energy conferences: Louisville, Maryland, Kansas, and Georgia.
Notable on the Maryland front: USC announced on Wednesday morning that it had signed Andy Enfield to the restructured contract until 2027-2028. Enfield is in his ninth season at USC, and because he was a graduate student in Maryland and hails from the area, he’s gained momentum over the past two months as a suitable candidate for the role of Terps. It will not happen. Enfield has 25-6 Trojans ranked 21st in the AP poll. Last year’s team made it to the elite eight.
“My family and I are very happy to be part of the Trojan Family,” Enfield said. “I feel great about the future of USC basketball at the Pac-12 and at the national level.”
Enfield 182-116 in USC. The Trojans have won the third most games in the last three seasons of any team in the power conference (behind Baylor and Kansas). Elsewhere, Jim Larrañaga put an end to retirement rumors with Miami announcing that Larrañaga had signed a new deal through 2025–26.
Other coaches who were given another year were Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing, Arizona State’s Bobby Hurley, Nebraska’s Fred Heuberg, and North Carolina State’s Kevin Kitts.
