Coaching changes

On April 24, Jake Luhn was promoted to associate head coach.[7] On June 17, Craig Carter was named an assistant coach at Cornell.[8] On July 7, former Marshall standout Adam Williams was named his replacement.[9] Two days later, former Georgia student manager Cody Anderson was named director of basketball operations.[10]

Roster

On October 9, Johnson and forward Jason Pimentel were suspended indefinitely, following their arrest on marijuana possession charges.[11] On November 3, Geter was placed on a medical redshirt for the season due to a shoulder surgery.[12] Three days later, Fisher was suspended for four games (including an exhibition game) for an unspecified violation of team rules.[13] On December 2, the Longwood athletic department announced that Pimentel "will not return" to the team," while Johnson would return for the December 12 game against Richmond.[3] On February 3, the Longwood student newspaper The Rotunda reported that Dorsey was redshirting for the season.[14]
