On March 15, after losing in the SEC Tournament, head coach Anthony Grant was fired. He compiled a record of 117–85 in six seasons. Associate head coach John Brannen served as interim head coach during the Tide's two NIT games.

Incoming transfer

  • Note: Redshirt senior Christophe Varidel transferred to Alabama from Chaminade during the 2014 offseason and would have been eligible to play immediately at the beginning of the 2014–15 season because he had already graduated school and had one year of athletic eligibility remaining, but due to lingering injuries from his time at Chaminade, Varidel made a joint decision with head coach Anthony Grant to end his college basketball career before the start of the season.
