2025-26 College basketball coaching carousel

Kevin Kruger fired at UNLV. Another guy who couldn't win there without cheating like Tark.

The AD admits that it can only afford the first two years of the new football coach's five-year contract, but now has to come up with $2.35 million to buy out the basketball coach *and* find the money to attract both a new basketball coach and players to make people give one single ship about UNLV basketball again. Yikes.
 
Rothstein reporting that Maryland is gonna back up the truck for Willard, making him one of the top-10 highest-paid coaches in the country. I guess there was a little bit of scuttlebutt about Villanova making a run at him, but man, that's a lot of money for a dude who's never gotten a team past the second round of the tournament.

On one hand, he made five NCAAs at Seton Hall, which will soon seem as impressive as driving to the moon, and the 2020 team had a Final Four ceiling. On the other, he's wrung an awful lot out of that what-could-have-been scenario. I wouldn't back the truck up until he won two games next weekend, mostly b/c I think he'd be a terrible fit at Stepford Nova.
 
Tobin Anderson out after only two seasons as Pitino's replacement at Iona. Was only one game under .500 and the Gaels made the MAAC title game this season. Pitino left him with basically nothing. Seems like a very quick hook.
