Fairfield men’s basketball coach Jay Young stepped down Monday, exactly three weeks before the start of the 2023-24 season.
Assistant coach Chris Casey was named interim coach effective immediately. The Stags open at Boston College on Nov. 6.
Young went 50-73 in four seasons, including taking the Stags to the MAAC championship game in 2020-21. Fairfield went 13-18 last season. It’s unclear what led to Young’s sudden departure.
“We would like to thank Coach Young for his dedication and contributions to Fairfield during his four seasons with the Stags,” the school said in the announcement. “We wish Coach Young much success in his future endeavors.”
Casey, an assistant under Young for four seasons, has previous head coaching experience at Niagara, where he was 64-129 in six seasons (2013-19).
