Boston College fired longtime men’s basketball radio broadcasters Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer, allegedly telling both that the decision came directly from new head coach Luke Murray, who did not want anyone associated with the old coaching staff to stick around.
Collins and Maurer called BC basketball games together for nine years, and both learned in late July that they would not be returning for the upcoming season, leaving little time for them to find new full-time gigs before the start of the 2026-27 season.
“The reasoning that I was given was that coach Murray basically wants a whole new fresh coat of paint on the entire program and wants no remnants of the past around the program,” Collins told Awful Announcing in a phone interview. “We have nothing to do with any of that. But he wanted us removed. Didn’t feel comfortable being around a link to the past, if you will. My challenge was, well, how can he not feel comfortable around us? He hasn’t even given us the chance to meet us.”
