Arizona State Won't Renew Bobby Hurley's Contract After 11 Seasons

He is on paid administrative leave through June 30, prompting a swift coaching search.

Overview

  • The announcement came hours after a 91-42 loss to No. 7 Iowa State, the largest margin in Big 12 tournament history.
  • Hurley departs with a 185-167 record over 11 seasons, ranking second all-time in program wins and making three NCAA Tournament appearances.
  • ASU placed Hurley on paid administrative leave through his June 30 contract end after deciding not to extend his deal.
  • Reports on March 9 that Hurley would not return were labeled premature by ASU sources before Wednesday’s formal decision.
  • The move follows a 17-16 season and a three-year stretch of 44-54, sharpening the timeline for a successor as roster and transfer-portal decisions near.
