BREAKING: Idaho assistant men’s basketball coach no longer with team

Idaho men’s basketball assistant coach Kirk Earlywine is no longer with the Idaho men’s basketball coaching staff, according to Idaho Athletics on Wednesday.

Earlywine was with the team for the past seven seasons.

Earlywine is the second coach from the program to depart within the year. Former Idaho Head Coach Don Verlin was fired after recent NCAA violations on June 14th. Verlin was placed on paid administrative leave on May 28th, before being fired June 14th.

Earlywine joined the Vandals in 2012 as the team’s director of player development, before becoming an Idaho assistant coach.

Earlywine spent many years in the college coaching carousel with over 30 years of experience on his resume.
