Fran McCaffery to coach Iowa
Il coach lascia Siena
Iowa has hired Siena coach Fran McCaffery to the same position, a source close to the situation confirmed to ESPN's Doug Gottlieb on Sunday.
Iowa was expected to announce the move Monday in Iowa City, Iowa.
McCaffery, 50, will replace Todd Lickliter, who was fired two weeks ago after the Hawkeyes' third losing season in a row.
McCaffery, a fifth-year coach for Siena who is a former assistant coach at Notre Dame under Digger Phelps, has taken the Saints to three straight NCAA tournaments, including two upsets in the first round.
Siena finished this season 27-7, 17-1 in the MAAC, after the No. 13-seeded Saints fell to No. 4-seeded Purdue in the first round of the NCAA tournament, 72-64.
McCaffery coached Lehigh for three seasons and UNC-Greensboro for six before taking the Siena job.
