Iowa is planning to dismiss men's basketball coach Fran McCaffery after 15 seasons, ESPN reported Friday.
The university's all-time leader in wins (297), McCaffery guided the Hawkeyes to seven NCAA Tournament appearances. Unfortunately for McCaffery's teams, they failed to reach the Sweet 16.
This season was not a banner one for McCaffery, whose team finished with a 17-16 record after a 106-94 setback to Illinois on Thursday in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. McCaffery was ejected in the second half of that game after being assessed two technical fouls for arguing with the officials.
McCaffery, 65, became the winningest coach in Iowa history after the Hawkeyes pulled away for an 86-77 victory over host Minnesota on Jan. 15, 2024.
McCaffery, who took the helm for Iowa in 2010, won his 272nd game with the program. He surpassed longtime coach Tom Davis, who won 271 games from 1986-99.
McCaffery owns a 297-207 overall coaching record with Lehigh (1985-88), UNC Greensboro (1999-2005), Siena (2005-10) and Iowa.
