| Abstract | To improve academic accountability and graduation rates of student-athletes among its member institutions, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) designed and implemented the Academic Progress Rate (APR) and the Division I Head Coaches Academic Progress Rate Portfolio (HCAPRP). The NCAA believed that the direct influence of the head coaches contributed to the athletic and academic success of their student-athletes; therefore, the NCAA purported that the new educational reform would lead to a higher level of accountability from the student-athletes and the head coaches. In earlier literature, researchers noted supporting research of the significant impact of head football coaching changes on the APR of student-athletes. In this study, the researcher addressed the problem of exorbitant leadership succession among college basketball coaches and the effects on the APR scores of their teams. Leadership theories, regarding sports, such as Complex Adaptive Systems theory--proposed the influential nature, importance, and actions of leaders steer the sporadic consequential effects of their organizations. Scapegoat Theory purported that head coaches are primary targets in organizational improvements or external leadership succession when athletic administrators are faced with pressures to produce and maintain winning programs. Expanding this research into other sports, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate the effects of collegiate head coaching changes in Division I-AA basketball including the variables--type of hire, nature of change, and winning percentage--on a team's Academic Progress Rate score from 2006-2007 to 2015-2016. The stratified random probability sampling frame consisted of basketball head coaches employed from 2006-2007 to 2015-2016 in men's and women's NCAA Division I-AA collegiate basketball programs across the United States. Data analyses included: (1) paired samples t-test, (2) independent samples t-test, and (3) least squares multiple regression. Two major themes were unveiled within the research findings: (1) the type of hire (internal or external) is a significant factor in leader succession, and (2) most coaches are hired externally in leadership succession. The researcher reviewed the findings in comparison to previous studies and noted a similar significance in the type of hire, in which external hires were made during adverse changes. College administrators should work to develop internal systems to provide leadership support to reduce excessive head coaching turnover. Recommendations for future research are (1) a qualitative study focused on the examination of perceptions of collegiate student-athletes on head coaching changes, and (2) a qualitative study focused on the attitudes of athletic administrators on leadership succession in college basketball.
