Providence has appointed Bryan Hodgson as its new men's basketball coach, effective March 2026. Hodgson, aged 38, arrives from South Florida, where he spent one season. He guided the Bulls to an impressive 25-9 record, securing both the American regular-season and conference tournament titles. This success marked the program's first NCAA Tournament berth since 2012. Hodgson's coaching career has seen a rapid ascent, including a previous stint at Arkansas State. There, he achieved a 45-28 record over three years, with two consecutive 20-win seasons. He also served as an assistant under Nate Oats at Alabama and Buffalo, gaining recognition for his recruiting and player development skills. Providence seeks to revitalize its program under Hodgson's leadership, aiming to improve after consecutive losing seasons and a last NCAA Tournament appearance in 2023. South Florida, meanwhile, faces another coaching transition under athletics CEO Rob Higgins.
