Wow - that's a shame. I thought he could be decent there at first, but it has become clear that the gong needed to be rung.

Why now and not after last season's disaster? Makes no sense.

First time I've ever heard of a coach losing his spot after tearing his ACL...

ESPN mentions DePaul's top recruit Brandon Young, out of DC's Friendship Collegiate and Team Triple Threat will open his recruitment. Hoyas are mentioned. Anyone know anything about him?

Assistant Tracy Webster has been named the interim head coach per ESPN: sports.espn.go.com/chicago/ncb/news/story?id=4815770Wainwright always seemed like a good guy, but as others have said, it was time for a change. I'm disappointed his teams didn't win more games. |

Needed to happen but like Big Dog said it would have been a lot easier to have gotten rid of him at the end of last season. This just reeks of desperation and panic.
Now the name I have seen rumored for the job is everyone's coaching idol Isiah Thomas. Would make the situation in Lincoln Park far more entertaining.

Why now and not after last season's disaster? Makes no sense. I assume that the injury made for a perfect "break". If he's injured and less able to coach, just put him out of his misery. You also get a chance to see what the assistant can do - maybe the team plays much better under him. |

Robinson might be available at the end of the season. Esherick is most certainly available immediately. I thought Esherick is somewhere in Greenwich Village winning every time he steps in front of a class. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here by speculating on his availability. |

Nope, not at NYU anymore (although I know someone from GU who took his class there). He teaches at Mason and does color on MASN. |

According to his business card, into possession of which I came sometime last year, Esherick is Assistant Professor of Sport Management in the School of Recreation, Health, and Tourism and the Center for Sport Management. |

I never understand moves like this. While Wainright's teams have stuggled since joining the Big East, I still dont see the value added of letting him go midseason, specially with no candidates in place to take over. Wainright has always been a class act in my eyes and deserved to finish the season, even if he'd be coaching knowing the axe awaits him afterward.
can someone explain to me the theory behind midseason fires in college basketball and perhaps even detail an example where such a move was ultimately successful.

I wonder if Rod Strickland, Depaul alum and Calipari disciple, will be a candidate.
On edit: turns out he did not graduate from Depaul, but was allegedly on course to get a bachelor's degree while working for Cal at Memphis.

I still think that the injury forced their hand - it limited his movement and ability to coach. With that said, in 1989, Bill Frieder said he would take the Arizona State job after the season ended while still the coach at Michigan. He was fired and replaced by Steve Fisher, who led a team which had done OK in the season thus far to the NCAA championship. |

Maybe they can "steal" Isiah away from Florida International. |

Given how stupid the people at DePaul are, they might just do that.
