Xavier, Steele ‘part ways,’ Musketeers begin search for new coach

After four years as Xavier’s head coach, Travis Steele’s time with the Musketeers has come to an end.

The Musketeers and Steele have agreed to part ways, effective immediately, and Xavier will begin its search for his replacement, first reported by the Musketeer Report’s Rick Broering and confirmed by multiple sources.

The agreement was finalized on Wednesday morning, shortly after Xavier was able to pull off a close 72-68 win over Cleveland State in the opening round of the NIT on Tuesday night.

Steele, who had been an assistant coach for Xavier from 2009-18 before succeeding former coach Chris Mack, went a combined 70-50 through his four seasons at the helm of the program.
