CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College men’s basketball head coach Earl Grant will not return next season, William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Blake James announced today.
“We are grateful to Earl for his dedication to our student-athletes and to the Boston College community over the past five seasons,” said James. “Earl is a man of high character who represented our institution with class. However, we have greater expectations for our basketball program and I believe a change in leadership is necessary to change the trajectory of our program. We wish Earl and his family nothing but the best going forward.”
Grant departs the Heights with an overall record of 72-92 and a record of 31-67 in conference play across five seasons.
“Our goal remains to compete at the highest level of college basketball and provide a world-class experience for our student-athletes,” James continued. “We will begin a national search immediately for a new head coach who shares our vision of excellence, both on the court and in the classroom.”
