Ranking each Big Ten basketball head coach for 2024-25 season
10. Fran McCaffery, Iowa
NCAA Tournament success has eluded McCaffery at Iowa but he has still been incredibly consistent over the past decade. The Hawkeyes have won 18 games or more in 12 of the last 13 years and have had one of the conference鈥檚 most dynamic offenses the past several seasons. The 65-year-old who began his head-coaching career at Lehigh and was named the 2009 MAAC Coach of the Year while at Siena has a vast amount of experience and has won over 530 games overall. He is also in line to pick up his 300th win at Iowa sooner rather than later. McCaffery continues to recruit players who fit his system well and has a nice young core in Iowa City right now that could help the Hawkeyes return to the NCAA Tournament in 2025.
