College Basketball Coaches
Last Updated:
There’s been a major change within the college basketball coaching ranks over the past few years.

Although their departure has opened the door for a new generation of coaching stars, there’s still room at the top for the old guard. The contrast between old and young was played out at the 2025 Final Four, where old-timers Kelvin Sampson of Houston and Bruce Pearl of Auburn faced off against young bucks Jon Scheyer of Duke and Todd Golden of Florida.
