STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford’s Anne and Tony Joseph Director of Men’s Basketball Jerod Haase has been relieved of his duties effective immediately, as announced Thursday night by Jaquish and Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir.

“While the on-court results fell short of our expectations, Coach Haase led our men’s basketball program with great integrity and made a deeply positive impact on many Cardinal student-athletes,” Muir said. “As we embark on the search for our next head coach, I wish Jerod and his family all the best in the future.”

Haase produced a 126-127 record in eight seasons on The Farm, guiding the Cardinal to an NIT appearance in 2018. In addition to securing 15 top-100 rated prospects, including three five-star players, Haase mentored 13 All-Pac-12 selections overall during his tenure.

Stanford continued to excel academically under Haase’s guidance, boasting five Pac-12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including four in a row from 2021-24, and three Academic All-Americans.

A national search will begin immediately.
