LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 03: Stanford Cardinal head coach Jerod Haase watches game action during … [+]
The Coaching Carousel rolled through Stanford on Thursday when the Pac-12 school fired men’s basketball coach Jerod Hasse.
The moves came after Stanford lost Thursday to Washington State, 79-62, in the Pac-12 Tournament and as Stanford is set to join the ACC beginning next season.
“While the on-court results fell short of our expectations, Coach Haase led our men’s basketball program with great integrity and made a deeply positive impact on many Cardinal student-athletes,” athletic director Bernard Muir said in a statement. “As we embark on the search for our next head coach, I wish Jerod and his family all the best in the future.”
Haase produced a 126-127 record in eight seasons, guiding the Cardinal to an NIT appearance in 2018. In addition to securing 15 top-100 rated prospects, including three five-star players, Haase mentored 13 All-Pac-12 selections overall during his tenure.
Stanford is considered a very tough job because of the school’s stringent academic standards which make it hard for anyone to be admitted, including basketball players.
Stanford joins high-major programs Louisville, Ohio State and Vanderbilt with coaching openings. DePaul on Thursday hired former Butler and Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann as its new coach.
