Iowa Hawkeyes head coach Fran McCaffery has been fired after 15 seasons, following the team’s second-round loss in the Big Ten Tournament according to a CBS Sports report. Athletic director Beth Goetz made the decision after Iowa finished 17-16, missing the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. Despite leading the team to seven NCAA appearances, McCaffery never reached the Sweet 16. Declining attendance and a poor season—finishing 12th in the Big Ten—contributed to his departure. McCaffery, who developed notable players like Luka Garza and Keegan Murray, leaves with a 297-207 record at Iowa and a career record of 548-384.
