Bobby Hurley, the head coach of the Arizona State men's basketball team for the past 11 seasons, will be departing the program. Hurley is set to inform his team of the decision, which comes after a tenure that included 185 wins but also some mixed results. The expectation is that Hurley will be placed on administrative leave for the next two months, as his contract is set to expire on June 30.
Why it matters
Hurley's departure marks the end of an era for Arizona State basketball. During his time as head coach, the Sun Devils reached new heights, including three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2017-2020 before the 2019-20 season was canceled due to COVID-19. His exit sets the stage for a major hire by Athletic Director Graham Rossini to chart the future direction of the program.
The details
Hurley, 54, has been the head coach of the Arizona State men's basketball team since 2015. Over his 11-year tenure, he compiled a record of 185 wins and 149 losses. While his time at the helm included some successful stretches, including reaching as high as #3 in the AP poll, the overall results were viewed as a mixed bag by many within the program. Despite facing budget and NIL challenges this past season, Hurley led the team to 17 wins, showcasing his coaching ability.
- Hurley will be meeting with the team shortly to discuss his departure from Arizona State.
- Hurley's contract is set to expire on June 30, 2026.
- The expectation is that Hurley will be placed on administrative leave for the next two months.
