**Tempe, AZ** – Arizona State University will retain men’s basketball coach Bobby Hurley despite a challenging season marked by injuries and a roster shakeup. Hurley, a Duke legend, steered the Sun Devils through their inaugural year in the Big 12 conference, a season plagued by over 50 missed games due to injuries to key players, including freshmen Jayden Quaintance and Joson Sanon. The team also saw the dismissal of leading scorer BJ Freeman in February.
Despite the setbacks, Hurley attributed the team’s struggles primarily to injuries and a lack of sufficient depth, not to a lack of support from the university. He stated that ASU provided full commitment and resources, enabling them to recruit top talent. He acknowledged needing to improve roster management to mitigate the impact of future injuries.
Hurley’s contract has one year remaining, making next season crucial for his future with the Sun Devils. He expressed a desire to remain in Tempe, setting the stage for a pivotal year for both coach and program.
