Villanova basketball is firing coach Kyle Neptune, per On3. Neptune disappointed in his tenure at the school, following in the footsteps of legendary coach Jay Wright.
This season, the Wildcats posted 19 wins. The club got bounced by UConn in the Big East tournament. Villanova was unlikely to make the NCAA tournament.
“A national search for the next leader of Villanova men’s basketball will begin immediately,” Villanova Athletic Director Eric Roedl said in a statement.
Villanova went just 54-47 in Neptune’s three year tenure. The school hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since Wright decided to retire in 2022. Villanova was a national power under Wright, who won two national championships at the school.
