Providence College has terminated basketball coach Kim English following three seasons at the helm, the school announced Friday after posting a losing record during his tenure.<\/p>

During English’s time leading the program, his squads compiled a 48-52 overall record and went 23-37 in Big East Conference play. His coaching stint concluded Thursday evening following an 85-72 defeat to top-seeded St. John’s during the Big East tournament quarterfinals.<\/p>

The Friars wrapped up the 2025-26 campaign with a 15-18 overall mark and a 7-13 conference record. English’s inaugural season saw the team go 21-14, while his second year resulted in a 12-20 finish.<\/p>

Athletic director Steve Napolillo released a statement acknowledging the coaching change. “We appreciate Kim and his staff for their efforts over the past three seasons leading our men’s basketball team,” Napolillo said. “We wish him and his family all the best in the future.”<\/p>

The college announced plans to launch a nationwide search for English’s replacement immediately.<\/p>

The 37-year-old English was brought on board March 23, 2023, to take over for Ed Cooley, who left the program to join Georgetown. Before arriving at Providence, English served as head coach at George Mason.<\/p>

According to ESPN’s reporting at the time of his hiring, English agreed to a six-year deal with the college.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
