2020–21 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference men's basketball season
The 2020–21 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) men's basketball season began with practices in October 2020, followed by the start of the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season on November 25. Conference play started in December and concluded in March 2021. This season was the 40th season of MAAC basketball. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the MAAC revised their scheduling policy for conference games as follows: The 2021 MAAC Tournament was held from March 8 through March 13 at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk  Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the second year in a row. For this season, since it was official that not all MAAC teams would reach the originally scheduled 20 conference game mark, team seeding in the tournament was based on overall conference regular season wins – not including any third games scheduled between teams in lieu of non-conference opponents. A tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records was also used. Head Coaches. Coaching changes. On March 13, 2020, Tim Cluess stepped down as head coach of the Iona Gaels due to health concerns. A day later , the school named former Louisville coach Rick Pitino the Gaels' new head coach.
