Next in line at UIC

Now that Jimmy Collins has announced that he’ll be retiring at the end of August, it is time to start looking into potential replacements. The logical successor at UIC was supposed to be Tracy Dildy, but he’s now the head coach at Chicago State. Further, if the Flames’ administration had wanted to hire Dildy, wouldn’t... Read more »

Change at DePaul doesn't change result in Big East

Is the recession saving jobs?

After the 2007-08 college basketball season there were 43 teams that acquired a new head coach. This season that number has dropped by more than 40 percent to 25.
