2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season began on November 4, 2024. The regular season will end on March 16, 2025, with the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament beginning with the First Four on March 18 and ending with the championship game at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, on April 7.

Rule changes

On May 2, 2024, the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee proposed a few rule changes for the 2024–25 season. These changes were approved on June 6 by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel.[1][2]

  • Officials will be able to review whether a player's foot last touching the court was inbounds on a made shot before time expired. If a player's foot is determined to be out of bounds, officials would put the exact time of the violation on the game clock. However, if the shot is made and time remains on the game clock, a video review would not occur.
  • A one-game suspension has been added to the ejection of any player, coach, or bench personnel who "disrespectfully contacts an official or makes a threat of physical intimidation or harm, to include pushing, shoving, spitting or attempting to make physical contact with an official".
  • An experimental rule for the 2025 NIT will allow a coach to appeal out-of-bounds calls for video replay review in the last two minutes of games, pending NIT board approval.

  • November 12 – Bill Self became Kansas' all-time leader in wins after recording a 77–69 win over Michigan State in Atlanta. The win was his 591st with the Jayhawks, surpassing Phog Allen as the winngest coach in program history.[17] On November 20, he won his 800th career game in an 84–66 home win over UNC Wilmington. Prior to Kansas, Self coached at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois.[18]
  • November 13 – Creighton coach Greg McDermott defeated Houston Christian 78–43 to became the school's all time leader in wins with 328.[19]
  • November 18 – Kansas City defeated local NCCAA member Calvary 119–19, setting several school records, including most lopsided win and fewest points allowed. With the Roos having defeated another local NCCAA school, Kansas Christian, 124–36 on November 8, they became the first Division I men's team with two wins by 85 or more points in a single season.[20]

Coaching changes

Many teams will change coaches during the season and after it ends.

Team Former
Interim
New
Reason
South Florida Amir Abdur-Rahim Ben Fletcher The 43-year-old Abdur-Rahim passed away on October 24, 2024, just 11 days before beginning his second season as South Florida head coach, following complications during a medical procedure at a Tampa hospital. In his first and only season at USF, he led the team to a school record 25 wins, an American Athletic Conference regular season championship, and was named AAC Coach of the Year.[27] 5 days after his death, Bulls associate head coach Fletcher was named interim head coach for the season.[28]
Virginia Tony Bennett Ron Sanchez Virginia announced on October 17, 2024 that Bennett had retired, effective immediately, and made a formal announcement the next day. Bennett leaves the Cavaliers after 15 seasons as the winningest head coach of the program with 364 wins, 10 NCAA tournament appearances, six ACC regular-season titles, two ACC tournament championships, and a national title in 2019.[29] Associate head coach Sanchez, who rejoined the staff last season after spending the past 5 seasons as Charlotte head coach, was named interim head coach for the season.[30]
