Boston College Fires Men’s Basketball Coach Earl Grant After Five Seasons

The move follows a fifth season defined by one of Division I’s lowest-scoring offenses.

Overview

  • The dismissal was first reported by Jeff Goodman of the Field of 68 and confirmed to ESPN by Pete Thamel.
  • Grant finished 72-92 at Boston College with one winning season, a 20-16 campaign in 2023-24 that reached the ACC quarterfinals and the NIT second round.
  • Outlets differ on this season’s final record, citing either 10-20 or 11-20, with one report listing a 4-14 mark in ACC play.
  • Boston College averaged 67 points per game this season, ranking 343rd of 365 Division I teams, a recurring shortfall noted in coverage of the decision.
  • The program’s NCAA Tournament drought extends to 2009 despite multiple coaching changes since Al Skinner’s tenure.
