To add to the list JD published (https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2018/2/28/17065828/coaching-carousel-its-going-to-be-surreal-this-year-acc-basketball) on the main page article--
Mark Fox is done at Georgia. While not a program with much of a basketball history (Dominque Wilkens is about the only UGA player to have a lasting impact on the basketball world), this is a big time athletic program and a team in the SEC that is the dominant recruiter in one of the best high school basketball areas in the country (Atlanta routinely produces 5+ top 100 basketball recruits per year). If Georgia gets someone who can recruit, they could be a significant program very quickly.
Kevin Ollie is close to gone from UConn. They are barely relevant and the recruiting has dried up.
Richard Pitino is probably in some hot water at Minnesota. They are increasingly a lower-tier Big Ten team and his name, once a strong point, is now a negative. Plus, there was some scandal involving a player who was accused of sexual assault and it looks like Pitino tried to ignore the whole thing. That's a problem in the current climate.
I wonder if Greg Gard might be in some trouble at Wisconsin. This season has been a disaster and though last year started out strong, they sputtered down the stretch.
Lastly, I'm surprised DBR did not mention Stallings at Pitt. It really feels like they want to move on from him. This year has been a truly unforgivable disaster.
