BC clarifies Luke Murray had no role in radio announcer firings

Boston College says its decision not to renew the contracts of radio announcers Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer was approved by athletic director Blake James and originated with deputy AD Craig Anderson, not by new coach Luke Murray who reportedly did not have the authority to make such changes; the plan was framed as a men’s basketball decision and delivered abruptly in July, triggering social-media backlash as Collins and Maurer were surprised by the move.

Boston College fires Earl Grant after five-year run

Boston College has dismissed head coach Earl Grant after five seasons, ending a 2025-26 campaign that finished 10-20 and missed the ACC tournament. The Eagles struggled on offense, averaging 67 points per game (343rd in Division I), with recurring scoreless stretches that undermined the team despite periods of solid defense. The 2023-24 season offered a brief high point at 20-16 with an ACC quarterfinal upset run, but the roster collapsed afterward. BC Interruption says the search for a new coach will unfold in the coming weeks as potential candidates are evaluated.
