Conference membership changes

The 2012–13 season saw the second wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences.

In addition, two schools moved from Division II starting this season. These schools are ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play until completing their D-I transitions in 2016. Finally, one school that had announced a transition to Division II, New Orleans, announced that it would halt its transition and remain in Division I.

New arenas

• Coastal Carolina left behind one of the smallest venues in Division I basketball, Kimbel Arena (seating little over 1,000). The Chanticleers remained on campus at the new HTC Center.
• Omaha made its Division I debut in the new Ralston Arena, an off-campus venue in Ralston, a suburb of Omaha. The team's former on-campus home, Lee & Helene Sapp Fieldhouse, remains in use by the Omaha women's team.
• Troy left its on-campus home since 1962, the original Trojan Arena, for a new on-campus venue also named Trojan Arena.

Major rule changes

Beginning in 2012–13, the following rules changes were implemented:

• College coaches are allowed to practice with players a maximum two hours per week during the Summer (May–August) as long as the student-athletes were enrolled in classes.^[30]
• Coaches could work their teams for a maximum of two hours a week beginning September 15 until official practice begins on October 13.^[31]
• There is now unlimited contact, including text messaging, allowed between college coaches and a prospective player in high school and junior college recruiting.^[32]

Coaching changes

A number of teams changed coaches during and after the season.

Team	Former coach	Interim coach	New coach	Reason
Ball State	Billy Taylor		James Whitford	Taylor was fired following 15–15 records in each of his last two seasons.[102]
Buffalo	Reggie Witherspoon		Bobby Hurley	Witherspoon was fired after 14 seasons.[103]
Butler	Brad Stevens		Brandon Miller	Stevens left to become the newest head coach of the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics.[104]
Cal State Northridge	Bobby Braswell		Reggie Theus	Braswell was fired after 17 seasons, ending with a 14–17 season. Although he led the Matadors to two NCAA tournaments and three 20-win seasons, his tenure was also marked by numerous off-court problems. Ironically, incoming Northridge athletic director Brandon Martin, who announced Braswell's firing, played under him in high school.[105] Northridge went to the D-League to hire Theus, who is also a former coach of New Mexico State and the Sacramento Kings, and played 13 seasons in the NBA.[106]
Campbell	Robbie Laing		Kevin McGeehan	Campbell went 13-20 and finished tied for third in the league's North Division with a 7-9 conference record.[107]
Connecticut	Jim Calhoun		Kevin Ollie	Calhoun retired on September 13. He won 873 games in 40 years as a head coach, first at Northeastern and the last 26 years at UConn, where he put four teams in the Final Four, winning national titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011.[108]
FIU	Richard Pitino		Anthony Evans	Pitino, son of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino, took the Minnesota job.[109]
Florida Gulf Coast	Andy Enfield		Joe Dooley	Enfield guided the Eagles to the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in only its second year of Division I eligibility, then advanced to the Sweet 16 as a #15-seed – the first time in tournament history that a 15-seed had gotten so far. The University of Southern California lured Enfield away on April 1.[110]
Longwood	Mike Gillian		Jayson Gee	Gillian guided the Lancers through their transition from Division II to Division I play, and into their first season as a member of the Big South Conference. He resigned on March 14, 2013, after the Lancers' first season with less than ten wins since 2008.[111] On April 3, Cleveland State associate head coach Jayson Gee was hired.[112]
Loyola (Maryland)	Jimmy Patsos		G. G. Smith
Minnesota	Tubby Smith		Richard Pitino	Smith was fired after six seasons at Minnesota and having compiled a 124-81 record. The Golden Gophers never finished higher than sixth in the Big Ten Conference, however.[113]
New Mexico	Steve Alford		Craig Neal	Alford left to take the UCLA job.[114]
Norfolk State	Anthony Evans	Robert Jones		Evans took the FIU job; he had been a finalist for that job the previous offseason, but had lost out to the now-departed Richard Pitino.[115]
Northwestern	Bill Carmody		Chris Collins	Carmody was fired after failing to lead Northwestern to its first ever NCAA tournament bid in thirteen seasons.[116] He was replaced by Duke assistant Collins, the son of former NBA player and coach Doug Collins. Collins took over after the Blue Devils exited the NCAA tournament.[117]
Old Dominion	Blaine Taylor	Jim Corrigan	Jeff Jones	Old Dominion fired Taylor, their all-time winningest coach, on February 5 after a 2–20 start.[118]
Rutgers	Mike Rice		Eddie Jordan	Rice was fired on April 3 after ESPN's Outside the Lines aired a video taken at a Rutgers practice that showed Rice shoving and throwing balls at players and using gay slurs.[119] Jordan, a player on the school's 1976 Final Four team and most recently an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers, was hired as Rice's replacement.[120]
Saint Louis	Rick Majerus		Jim Crews	Majerus stepped down prior to the season due to health reasons and later died.

Siena	Mitch Buonaguro		Jimmy Patsos	According to ESPN.com, "Buonaguro went 35-59 in three seasons with the Saints, never finishing a season with a winning record or in the top half of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The three-year slide immediately followed the most successful three-year run in school history. Siena won MAAC titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010 -- all under coach Fran McCaffery, with Buonaguro his top assistant."[125]

UCLA	Ben Howland		Steve Alford	According to the Orange County Register, "...the perfect storm of attendance, reputation, and very little NCAA Tournament success was enough to doom Howland after 10 seasons."[129]
UMBC	Randy Monroe		Aki Thomas	Monroe resigned as head men's basketball coach on October 10. He led UMBC to its lone America East Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2007–08 season.
