Overview
- Multiple outlets report Providence will not retain Kim English after 2025-26, with Adam Zagoria reporting he was informed about a week ago.
- Athletic director Steve Napolillo says English remains coach for now and will be evaluated after the season, with one game left before the Big East Tournament.
- The Friars are 14-16 and 7-12 in the Big East after a 78-56 home loss to 11-19 Marquette, a letdown for a team picked fourth in the league preseason.
- English is 47-50 over three seasons at Providence, a tenure marked by uneven results and a mid-February incident that led to Duncan Powell’s three-game suspension.
- The buyout is not disclosed but is believed to be easily north of $6 million, and a search for a successor is expected to begin after the season as spending on the roster has drawn scrutiny.
