Somebody had started a thread for the 2024 college basketball coaching silly season, so I figured I'd make it a tradition given how volatile the world of college basketball has become. I'm already tracking coaching changes on the VCU Ram Nation forum since some big names have shown interest in VCU's Ryan Odom, so I might as well bring it here. Here's what we have so far:

Hires:

Miami (FL) (Jim Larrañaga retired) - hired Jai Lucas (Duke assistant)
Stephen F. Austin (Kyle Keller fired) - hired Matt Braeuer (Texas Tech assistant)
Utah (Craig Smith fired)- hired Alex Jensen (Dallas Mavericks assistant)
Florida State (Leonard Hamilton retired) - hired Luke Loucks (Sacramento Kings assistant)
Louisiana-Lafayette (Bob Marlin fired) - hired Quannas White (Houston assistant)
Bellarmine (Scott Davenport retiring) - hired Doug Davenport (son/Bellarmine assistant)
La Salle (Fran Dunphy retired) - hired Darris Nichols (Radford HC)
Murray State (Steve Prohm resigned) - hired Ryan Miller (Creighton assistant)
Indiana (Mike Woodson retired) - hired Darian DeVries (West Virginia HC)
Louisiana-Monroe (Keith Richard fired) - hired Phil Cunningham (Western Kentucky assistant)
NC State (Kevin Keatts fired) - hired Will Wade (McNeese HC)
Virginia (Tony Bennett retired) - hired Ryan Odom (VCU HC)
Chicago State (Scott Spinelli fired) - hired Landon Bussie (Alcorn State HC)

Vacancies:

South Florida (Amir Abdur-Rahim passed away)
Oral Roberts (Russell Springmann fired)
Campbell (Kevin McGeehan fired)
Columbia (Jim Engles resigned)
Penn (Steve Donahue fired)
Radford (Darris Nichols hired at La Salle)
Iowa (Fran McCaffery fired)
Minnesota (Ben Johnson fired)
Villanova (Kyle Neptune fired)
West Virginia (Darian DeVries hired at Indiana)
McNeese (Will Wade hired at NC State)
Texas (Rodney Terry fired)
VCU (Ryan Odom hired at Virginia)
Fordham (Keith Urgo fired)
Navy (Ed DeChellis retired)
Denver (Jeff Wulbrun fired)
UNLV (Kevin Kruger fired)
Alcorn State (Landon Bussie hired at Chicago State)

Richmond? (does Chris Mooney get fired after 20+ years?)

My UNC fan friend thinks that head coach Hubert Davis will get fired.

So he finally decided to retire from the Stones?  :-D

(Although he's professionally known as Keith Richards now, he was originally known as Keith Richard.)
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I have waited entirely too long for someone to make that joke!

Fran McCaffery has been fired at Iowa after 15 seasons. He's the winningest coach in Iowa's history.

Apparently Hubert Davis re-upped his contract.

Iowa firing a coach responsible for perpetuating his program's mediocrity? Never thought I'd see the day.

Yup. One big opening has been replaced with another big opening.

Yup. Realistically I don't think it mattered how Texas did in the tournament (even if they'd gotten to the Sweet 16), they still would have fired him. They were getting ready to announce his firing on Selection Sunday when they found out Texas had made the tournament.

Ryan Odom hired by UVA. He's perhaps best-known for his coaching performance in the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Man, the dude at Alcorn State takes the worst job in college basketball - probably because he realized he was going to be fired with another year like the last couple.
