Reports circulating within the college basketball community suggest the coach may not return to Providence College next season. The discussion has gained attention as the team approaches the final games of the regular season.
The speculation increased after Wednesday night’s game while Providence continues to fight for positioning ahead of the upcoming Big East Tournament.
College basketball insider Adam Zagoria reported that English learned roughly a week ago that he would not return as head coach next year. Providence College has not confirmed the report, and no official announcement has been made.
