heads are rolling in kansas city and chicago....and southern utah????

Heads are rolling with (current and former) Mid-Con teams. According to ESPN.com:

UMKC fires basketball coach Rich Zvosec after 12-20 season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- University of Missouri-Kansas City fired men's basketball coach Rich Zvosec on Tuesday after a 12-20 season.

Zvosec compiled an 84-91 record in six years and had one year left on his contract, which was extended last summer. Read more.

And then I just saw on the ESPN TV ticker that Chicago State University Head Coach Kevin Jones also was fired today.

I can't say as I'm surprised by either. CSU, as you know, was booted out of "left" the conference after last season amidst a groundswell of allegations against its athletics program. As for Zvosec at UMKC, I half-expected it. I don't know him personally, but he never seemed to elevate UMKC above the middle of the pack.

I now wonder out loud if longtime IUPUI Associate Head Coach Todd Howard will get any looks from UMKC or other schools. As for Chicago State...well, I wonder if that program can survive without a conference for much longer. I predict they'll be forced to shut it down.

ETA: Boy, how did I miss this?????

Bill Evans Leaves Southern Utah

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Evans was not a bad coach, I thought.
