2017-18 Head Coaches on the Hot Seat!

A list of head coaches who are or should be on the hot seat entering the 2017-18 season.  Schools will be added.  Generally coaches are listed if they haven't averaged 12 wins in their first four years as head coach.  Usually coaches listed have been at their school for at least four years, though there maybe an exception every so often.  Coaches are listed regardless of their contract status.

Full Disclosure- If there is a head coach who I really like and respect, no matter how bad the record maybe, that HC will not be listed here!

There are legendary coaches who haven't done well the past few seasons.  We all know who they are.  So, they won't be listed here! They have given so much to WBB, they deserve to go out on their own terms!

RED-Coaching change was made after the 2017-18 season.

Hired by her AD at VCU, that scumbag Norwood Teague, who resigned at Minnesota, amid sexual harassment allegations.   She got a P5 job with a less than stellar 51-42 record in three years at two different mid major schools and no NCAA tournaments.  A new AD, downward trend in wins, and a newspaper report that she went over budget, makes this one of the hottest seats in the Big 10!

Lost two best players, who wanted to pursue their music career, but stupid NCAA rules wouldn't allow them to play and make money from their music!
