Texas reportedly fires men's basketball coach Rodney Terry after three seasons

A disappointing first season in the SEC has led Texas to look for a new men’s basketball coach.

According to John Rothstein, the Longhorns have fired Rodney Terry after nearly three seasons in charge. Terry took over as Texas’ head coach eight games into the 2022-23 season when Chris Beard was suspended and ultimately fired for a domestic violence accusation that ultimately resulted in dropped charges.

Texas scraped its way into the 2025 NCAA tournament as one of the last teams in the field. The Longhorns were a somewhat surprising inclusion in the field, but lost to Xavier on Wednesday night in the First Four.
