Several programs are looking for new leaders. Some of the positions are glamorous -- like the Indiana job that will reportedly go to Marquette's Tom Crean. Others -- like the job at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, fresh off a 0-and-29 season -- less so.
Here's a rundown of the openings, who's out, and who's in. The reason for each coach's departure -- firing, resignation or new job -- is listed in parentheses.
