The 1959–60 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team represented the University of Idaho during the 1959–60 NCAA University Division basketball season. The independent Vandals were led by first-year head coach Dave Strack and played their home games on campus at Memorial Gymnasium in Moscow, Idaho.[1][2]
In the four years between the demise of the Pacific Coast Conference (1959) and the founding of the Big Sky Conference (1963), Idaho was an independent; this season the Vandals had an 11–15 (.423) record.[3]
Hired in June, Strack was previously an assistant coach at the University of Michigan, his alma mater.[4][5][6] After just one season in Moscow, Strack resigned in May 1960 to return to Michigan as head coach;[7][8][9] he was succeeded at Idaho by Joe Cipriano, a former player (and assistant coach) at the University of Washington in Seattle.[10][11]
