Villanova Fires Kyle Neptune After Three Disappointing Seasons

The Wildcats part ways with their head coach following another underwhelming season and a third consecutive NCAA Tournament miss.

Kyle Neptune was dismissed after compiling a 54-47 record over three seasons as Villanova's head coach.
The decision follows Villanova's 73-56 loss to UConn in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals, marking the team’s third straight early exit from the tournament.
Neptune struggled to meet expectations despite having arguably his best roster this season, ending with a 19-14 record and missing the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year.
New athletic director Eric Roedl, who took over in January, prioritized a change in leadership to revitalize the program and address declining performance.
Villanova now begins the search for a new head coach, with significant challenges ahead, including a roster overhaul and adapting to the evolving college basketball landscape.
