Fran McCaffery, the head basketball coach for the Iowa Hawkeyes, was fired after 15 seasons. The news, reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel, did not come as a surprise due to the team’s recent struggles. McCaffery’s ejection during a game against Illinois likely contributed to his firing. Despite his accomplishments, including being the school’s all-time wins leader, McCaffery was not able to lead the Hawkeyes to consistent success in the Big Ten or the NCAA Tournament. Iowa will now look for a new coach to lead the team in the upcoming season.
