Coaching Carousel Heats Up: High-Major Jobs to Watch This Offseason

With the regular season ending, the men’s college basketball coaching carousel is heating up as high-major programs assess changes.

Sports Illustrated lists hot seats (Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Providence, Boston College, Arizona State, LSU, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Memphis), coaches likely to stick (Georgetown, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rutgers, Notre Dame), and retirement-watch candidates (Altman, Barnes, Boyle, Few, Grant, Izzo, McDermott, Self).
