March is here and you better believe the carousel’s already spinning. 

In fact, we didn’t even get through the first week without two hirings. You can read those stories below:

» Miami has plucked Duke assistant Jai Lucas as its next coach
» Utah alum Alex Jensen is leaving the Mavericks to coach his alma mater

Two down … so, so many to go. 

This story/link is where you’ll find our ever-updating men’s college basketball coaching tracker. Over the next month-plus, this piece will get dozens of updates. Carousel intel, sourced info, inevitably debunking some rumors and the latest on what’s happening off the court amid the busiest month of the year in college hoops: you’ll find it all here.

Eleven jobs are set to change as of now; you can peruse the impending vacancies below. We’ll almost definitely hit at least 40 coaching moves in this cycle — and 50-plus wouldn’t be a surprise at all. That said, don’t expect 2025 to hit the levels of absurdity that 2024 did, when there was a record 68 job swaps. Be sure to bookmark this page. It will get a couple of updates over the next week, and then daily (and sometimes multiple refreshes within the same day) by the time high-major conference tournaments are underway.
