Boston College has terminated longtime men’s basketball radio broadcasters Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer. The decision was made by new head coach Luke Murray, who sought to distance himself from the previous coaching staff. Collins and Maurer had been with Boston College for nine years and were informed just days before August 1. Murray, who was hired in March, reportedly wanted a fresh start for the program and believed retaining the broadcasters would connect the program to a prior 'losing mentality'. Despite attempts to connect with Murray, the broadcasters received little feedback before the unexpected dismissal.
