Following the hiring of Luke Murray as the head men’s basketball coach at Boston College, the program faced controversy regarding the non-renewal of longtime radio announcers Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer. Collins alleged that Murray sought a “fresh coat of paint” on the program and directed the dismissals, though the school denied Murray’s involvement, stating the decision was made with a multimedia rights partner.

Subsequently, Murray has moved to build his coaching staff for the 2026-27 season, announcing five new staff members. These additions include Jared Jordan as director of player development, assistants Andre Berry and Gilvydas Biruta, director of basketball administration Chris Mastrangelo, and graduate assistant Charlie Weisberg.
