John Groce is set to become the next head coach at Charleston, moving on after a nine-year tenure at Akron.
Groce leaves the Zips with a 127-45 record, establishing one of the most successful stretches in the program’s recent history. Over the past five seasons, Akron reached the NCAA tournament four times under his leadership, a run that underscored the program’s consistency in postseason contention.
Akron tenure
Groce’s nine years at Akron were defined by sustained winning and repeated NCAA tournament appearances. His 127 victories against 45 losses reflect a strong overall performance, and the four tournament berths in the past five seasons highlight a period of steady results at a high level.
Next step at Charleston
Charleston now turns to Groce as its next head coach, bringing in a veteran leader with a track record of success at Akron. The move marks the next chapter for Groce after nearly a decade on the Zips’ sideline.
