Men's college basketball coaching changes for 2026-27 Men's college basketball coaching changes for 2026-27

We're tracking all the coaching changes in men's college basketball throughout the offseason.

How the men's basketball coaching carousel spun in 2026 How the men's basketball coaching carousel spun in 2026

Barring an unexpected retirement or departure, the high-major coaching carousel is done spinning for the cycle.

Sources: FIU is expected to hire Daytona State head coach Joey Cantens as the school’s next head coach. He’s averaged 27.5 wins the last four years there and brings a 120-40 record over five seasons at the Florida JUCO. Cantens appealed to the FIU brass because of both local and international experience. He started his career under Leonard Hamilton at FSU and coached professionally in Germany and with the Dominican Republic National Team.
