Feb 15, 2026 | Men's Basketball
Associate head coach Matthew Driscoll has been named interim head coach.
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State Athletics Director Gene Taylor announced tonight the school is parting ways with men's basketball coach Jerome Tang. This decision is effective immediately.
Associate head coach Matthew Driscoll has been selected as the interim head coach.
"This was a decision that was made in the best interest of our university and men's basketball program," Taylor said. "Recent public comments and conduct, in addition to the program's overall direction, have not aligned with K-State's standards for supporting student-athletes and representing the university. We wish Coach Tang and his family all the best moving forward."
A national search for K-State's next basketball coach will begin immediately.
