Iowa has convinced Fran McCaffery to leave Siena to become the Hawkeyes’ new coach.
Athletic director Gary Barta announced the hiring in a release Sunday and said McCaffery would be introduced in a press conference on Monday in Iowa City.
McCaffery went 112-51 in five seasons at Siena, leading the Saints to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Siena lost to Purdue in the first round this year and finished with a 27-7 record.
McCaffery replaces Todd Lickliter, who was fired after Iowa went 10-22 this year.
