Newly added information is in bold. Current and former Big East Conference head coaches are indicated in italics. Open Division I head coaching positions are indicated by underline. There are presently 20 Division I coaching vacancies.
BRYANT (America East)-- Jared Grasso (5 years, and entering his 6th season; 17-13 in the 2022-2023 season; 79-67 at Bryant and overall) took a leave of absence from his position as head coach on September 29, 2023 for unspecified reasons, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis September 29, 2023 by Phil Martelli, Jr. (associate head coach at Bryant). Grasso was thereafter arrested by Smithfield RI police on October 1, 2023 and charged with "Failure to Stop for Accident Resulting in Damage to Vehicle," and is scheduled for arraignment on October 24, 2023; this incident appears to be unrelated to the circumstances underlying Grasso's leave of absence. Grasso entered a "not guilty" plea on October 31, 2023, and was released on a $1,000.00 personal recognizance bond. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors on November 7, 2023, although Grasso remained on leave.

Wade thereafter received a two-year show-cause penalty and a ten-game suspension June 22, 2023 from the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Process, as a result of NCAA violations committed by Wade while coaching at Louisiana State.

Conference tournaments are now in full swing, with four automatic bids having been awarded in the past week (as of this posting), none of them going to top seeds. Houston concluded the regular season atop the Associated Press Top 25 yet again, wrapping up its inaugural Big 12 Conference season on a nine game winning streak with victories at Central Florida (67-59) and against then-#14 ranked Kansas (76-46). Connecticut held onto the #2 position in the Top 25 with road wins at then-#8 Marquette (74-67) and Providence (74-60). Purdue is ranked #3 for another week, after a 77-71 win at then-#12 ranked Illinois and a 78-70 win against Wisconsin. North Carolina moved up three slots, from #7 to #4, after an 84-51 victory over Notre Dame and an 84-79 win at then-#9 ranked Duke. Tennessee rounds out the top five after falling one slot, from #4 to #5, after a 66-59 win at then-#17 South Carolina and an 85-81 home court loss against then -#15 Kentucky.
Three Big East Conference schools are, once again, ranked in the AP Top 25, with Creighton and Marquette joining Connecticut. The Bluejays and Golden Eagles exchanged ranking positions, with Creighton moving up two spots to #8 after a 69-67 victory over Villanova in Philadelphia, and Marquette dropping two slots to #10 after a 74-67 loss to #2 Connecticut and an 86-80 victory at Xavier. No other Big East Conference schools received any votes in this week’s polls.
Kentucky had the largest advance amongst ranked teams this week, moving up six spots from #15 to #9 after a 93-77 win over Vanderbilt and an 85-81 win at then-#4 Tennessee. Washington State fell the furthest amongst ranked teams this week, dropping four slots from #18 to #22 after losing to unranked Washington, 74-68. San Diego State and South Florida fell out of the AP Top 25 this week, after the Aztecs (formerly #21) lost at unranked Nevada Las Vegas (62-58) and against unranked Boise State (79-77, in overtime) while the Bulls (formerly #24) defeated Tulane (85-72) and lost at unranked Tulsa (76-70). Replacing them this week are Nevada and Texas Tech; the Wolf Pack are ranked for the first time this season at #23 after winning at Boise State (76-66) and against Nevada Las Vegas (75-65), and the Red Raiders return to the rankings at #25 after wins at Oklahoma State (75-58) and against then-#11 Baylor (78-68).
Updates to this thread will become sporadic during the Big East Conference Tournament, as I will be in attendance with other Class of 1978 members. Hoping to have something to celebrate....

Newly added information is in bold. Current and former Big East Conference head coaches are indicated in italics. Open Division I head coaching positions are indicated by underline. There are presently 20 Division I coaching vacancies.
BRYANT (America East)-- Jared Grasso (5 years, and entering his 6th season; 17-13 in the 2022-2023 season; 79-67 at Bryant and overall) took a leave of absence from his position as head coach on September 29, 2023 for unspecified reasons, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis September 29, 2023 by Phil Martelli, Jr. (associate head coach at Bryant). Grasso was thereafter arrested by Smithfield RI police on October 1, 2023 and charged with "Failure to Stop for Accident Resulting in Damage to Vehicle," and is scheduled for arraignment on October 24, 2023; this incident appears to be unrelated to the circumstances underlying Grasso's leave of absence. Grasso entered a "not guilty" plea on October 31, 2023, and was released on a $1,000.00 personal recognizance bond. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors on November 7, 2023, although Grasso remained on leave. Grasso resigned as head coach on November 13, 2023, and Martelli Jr. was named head coach on November 14, 2023; no terms of compensation nor contract specifications were announced by Bryant. CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE (Big West)-- John Smith (5 years; 4-25 this season; 29-112 at Cal Poly and overall) was fired March 1, 2024, effective at the end of the season. CENTRAL ARKANSAS (ASUN)-- Anthony Boone (5 years; 9-23 this season; 43-96 at UCA and overall) was fired March 3, 2024.

Grasso was thereafter arrested by Smithfield RI police on October 1, 2023 and charged with "Failure to Stop for Accident Resulting in Damage to Vehicle," and is scheduled for arraignment on October 24, 2023; this incident appears to be unrelated to the circumstances underlying Grasso's leave of absence. Grasso entered a "not guilty" plea on October 31, 2023, and was released on a $1,000.00 personal recognizance bond. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors on November 7, 2023, although Grasso remained on leave.

Wade thereafter received a two-year show-cause penalty and a ten-game suspension June 22, 2023 from the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Process, as a result of NCAA violations committed by Wade while coaching at Louisiana State.

TSU announced on November 29, 2023, that Gillispie would continue to be sidelined indefinitely due to the aforementioned "medical circumstances." WEST VIRGINIA (Big 12)-- Bob Huggins (16 years; 19-15 in the 2022-2023 season; 343-203 at WVU; 934-415 overall) signed an amended contract May 10, 2023, which reduced his annual compensation from $4.2 million to $3.2 million, and further imposed a three-game suspension and sensitivity training after Huggins was interviewed on Cincinnati radio station WLW on May 8, 2023 and discussed an incident when he recalled "rubber Editedes" being thrown onto the court during a Crosstown Shootout game between Cincinnati and Xavier, further saying "[w]hat it was, was all those f*gs, those Catholic f*gs, I think." The amended contract provided for a year-by-year agreement beginning May 10, 2023 and expiring April 30, 2024, and reportedly WVU's administration made it explicitly clear to Huggins that any incidents of "similar offensive and derogatory language will result in immediate termination." Huggins was thereafter arrested in Pittsburgh PA on charges of driving under the influence on June 16, 2023, and was released on his own recognizance pending further appearance at a preliminary hearing on a date to be determined.

The regular season comes to a completion this week, and numerous mid-major conferences will be conducting their tournaments this week. This edition of the Games of Interest includes conference tournaments, as will next week’s edition; as I will be traveling next Monday, next week’s Games of Interest may not be posted until late Monday or Tuesday morning next week.
Houston maintained its #1 position atop the Associated Press Top 25 after the Cougars ran their winning streak to seven games and improved to 26-3 with a 67-59 victory against Cincinnati and an 87-85 win at Oklahoma. Connecticut and Purdue exchanged spots, with the 26-3 Huskies winning home games against Villanova (78-54) and Seton Hall (91-61), while the 26-3 Boilermakers won at Michigan (84-76) and against Michigan State (80-74). Tennessee held the #4 slot after the 23-6 Volunteers won against then-#11 ranked Auburn, 92-84, and at then-#14 ranked Alabama, 81-74. Arizona moved up three spots from #8 to #5 after the Wildcats ran their record to 23-6 with an 85-67 victory at Arizona State and a 103-83 win against Oregon.
Once again, there are three Big East Conference schools ranked in the AP Top 25. Joining Connecticut are Marquette and Creighton; the Golden Eagles fell three spots from #5 to #8 after defeating Providence (91-69) and losing at then-#12 Creighton (89-75), while the Bluejays moved up two slots from #12 to #10 after home court victories against Seton Hall (85-64) and then-#5 ranked Marquette (89-75). Villanova is the only other Big East Conference school to receive any votes in this week’s poll.
Brigham Young returned to the rankings at #20, replacing Florida. The Cougars are #20 this week after a 76-68 win at then-#7 Kansas and an 87-75 victory against Texas Christian, while the then-#24 ranked Gators fell out of the polls after an 83-74 win against Missouri and an 82-76 loss at then-#18 South Carolina. Gonzaga and Baylor each had the largest improvements in this week’s AP Top 25 amongst ranked teams; the Bears moved up four spots from #15 to #11 after victories at Texas Christian (62-54) and against then-#7 Kansas (82-74), while the Bulldogs similarly moved up three slots from #23 to #19 after running their winning streak to eight games with road victories over San Francisco (86-68) and then-#18 ranked Saint Mary’s (70-57). Kansas had the largest drop in the Top 25 amongst ranked teams, falling seven spots from #7 to #14 after losses against then-unranked Brigham Young, 76-68, and at then-#15 ranked Baylor, 82-74.
All times listed are Eastern Standard Time through March 9, and Eastern Daylight Time starting March 10. UPDATED AS OF 5:28 PM ON MARCH 11.

Newly added information is in bold. Current and former Big East Conference head coaches are indicated in italics. Open Division I head coaching positions are indicated by underline. There are presently 8 Division I coaching vacancies.
BRYANT (America East)-- Jared Grasso (5 years, and entering his 6th season; 17-13 in the 2022-2023 season; 79-67 at Bryant and overall) took a leave of absence from his position as head coach on September 29, 2023 for unspecified reasons, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis September 29, 2023 by Phil Martelli, Jr. (associate head coach at Bryant). Grasso was thereafter arrested by Smithfield RI police on October 1, 2023 and charged with "Failure to Stop for Accident Resulting in Damage to Vehicle," and is scheduled for arraignment on October 24, 2023; this incident appears to be unrelated to the circumstances underlying Grasso's leave of absence. Grasso entered a "not guilty" plea on October 31, 2023, and was released on a $1,000.00 personal recognizance bond. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors on November 7, 2023, although Grasso remained on leave. Grasso resigned as head coach on November 13, 2023, and Martelli Jr. was named head coach on November 14, 2023; no terms of compensation nor contract specifications were announced by Bryant. CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE (Big West)-- John Smith (5 years; 4-25 this season; 29-112 at Cal Poly and overall) was fired March 1, 2024, effective at the end of the season.

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN (Big South)-- Barclay Radebaugh (19 years; 2-5 this season; 228-325 at CSU; 249-333 overall) resigned November 30, 2023, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis November 30, 2023 by Saah Nimley (associate head coach at CSU). COASTAL CAROLINA (Sun Belt)-- Cliff Ellis (17 years; 3-5 this season; 297-227 at CCU; 909-576 overall) announced his retirement December 6, 2023, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis for the balance of the 2023-2024 season by Benny Moss (associate head coach at CCU).

Wade thereafter received a two-year show-cause penalty and a ten-game suspension June 22, 2023 from the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Process, as a result of NCAA violations committed by Wade while coaching at Louisiana State. MEMPHIS (American)-- Penny Hardaway (5 years; 26-9 in the 2022-2023 season; 111-52 at Memphis and overall) was suspended June 21, 2023 for the first three games of the 2023-2024 season by the NCAA for two impermissible in-home visits with a recruit during his junior year of high school in the 2021-2022 academic year, prior to the appropriate recruiting period based on that recruit's year in high school, and will miss the November 6 Jackson State game, the November 10 Missouri game, and the November 17 Alabama State game.

TARLETON STATE (Western)-- Billy Gillispie (5 years; 2-2 this season; 32-35 at TSU; 180-143 overall) missed the SoCal Challenge tournament, beginning November 20, 2023, due to "medical circumstances," and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis November 20, 2023 by Joseph Jones (assistant coach at TSU). TSU announced on November 29, 2023, that Gillispie would continue to be sidelined indefinitely due to the aforementioned "medical circumstances." WEST VIRGINIA (Big 12)-- Bob Huggins (16 years; 19-15 in the 2022-2023 season; 343-203 at WVU; 934-415 overall) signed an amended contract May 10, 2023, which reduced his annual compensation from $4.2 million to $3.2 million, and further imposed a three-game suspension and sensitivity training after Huggins was interviewed on Cincinnati radio station WLW on May 8, 2023 and discussed an incident when he recalled "rubber Editedes" being thrown onto the court during a Crosstown Shootout game between Cincinnati and Xavier, further saying "[w]hat it was, was all those f*gs, those Catholic f*gs, I think." The amended contract provided for a year-by-year agreement beginning May 10, 2023 and expiring April 30, 2024, and reportedly WVU's administration made it explicitly clear to Huggins that any incidents of "similar offensive and derogatory language will result in immediate termination." Huggins was thereafter arrested in Pittsburgh PA on charges of driving under the influence on June 16, 2023, and was released on his own recognizance pending further appearance at a preliminary hearing on a date to be determined. Huggins resigned as head coach June 17, 2023 after meeting with members of the WVU basketball team, announcing his intention to retire, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis for the 2023-2024 season on June 24, 2023 by Josh Eilert (assistant coach at WVU); no terms of compensation were announced by WVU.

Newly added information is in bold. Current and former Big East Conference head coaches are indicated in italics. Open Division I head coaching positions are indicated by underline. There are presently 7 Division I coaching vacancies.
BRYANT (America East)-- Jared Grasso (5 years, and entering his 6th season; 17-13 in the 2022-2023 season; 79-67 at Bryant and overall) took a leave of absence from his position as head coach on September 29, 2023 for unspecified reasons, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis September 29, 2023 by Phil Martelli, Jr. (associate head coach at Bryant). Grasso was thereafter arrested by Smithfield RI police on October 1, 2023 and charged with "Failure to Stop for Accident Resulting in Damage to Vehicle," and is scheduled for arraignment on October 24, 2023; this incident appears to be unrelated to the circumstances underlying Grasso's leave of absence. Grasso entered a "not guilty" plea on October 31, 2023, and was released on a $1,000.00 personal recognizance bond. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors on November 7, 2023, although Grasso remained on leave. Grasso resigned as head coach on November 13, 2023, and Martelli Jr. was named head coach on November 14, 2023; no terms of compensation nor contract specifications were announced by Bryant. CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE (Big West)-- John Smith (5 years; 4-25 this season; 29-112 at Cal Poly and overall) was fired March 1, 2024, effective at the end of the season. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN (Big South)-- Barclay Radebaugh (19 years; 2-5 this season; 228-325 at CSU; 249-333 overall) resigned November 30, 2023, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis November 30, 2023 by Saah Nimley (associate head coach at CSU). COASTAL CAROLINA (Sun Belt)-- Cliff Ellis (17 years; 3-5 this season; 297-227 at CCU; 909-576 overall) announced his retirement December 6, 2023, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis for the balance of the 2023-2024 season by Benny Moss (associate head coach at CCU). DePAUL (Big East)-- Tony Stubblefield (3 years; 3-15 this season; 28-54 at DePaul; 30-66 overall) was fired January 22, 2024, and was replaced as head coach on on an interim basis for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season by Matt Brady (special assistant to the head coach at DePaul, and former head coach at Marist and James Madison). FAIRFIELD (Metro Atlantic)-- Jay Young (4 years; 13-18 in the 2022-2023 season; 50-73 at Fairfield and overall) resigned October 16, 2023, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis for the 2023-2024 season October 16, 2023 by Chris Casey (assistant coach at Fairfield and former head coach at Niagara). McNEESE STATE (Southland)-- John Aiken (2 years; 11-23 in the 2022-2023 season; 22-45 at McNeese and overall) was fired March 8, 2023, and was replaced as head coach March 12, 2023 by Will Wade (former head coach at Tennessee Chattanooga, Virginia Commonwealth and Louisiana State); the five-year contract has a base compensation in the total amount of $1.175 million, along with various performance bonus incentives, and further provides that Wade will serve a five-game suspension at the start of the 2023-2024 season and will be under self-imposed recruiting restrictions throughout the term of the contract, in an apparent attempt to pre-impose sanctions that were expected to be imposed by the NCAA relating to Wade's coaching tenure at Louisiana State. Wade thereafter received a two-year show-cause penalty and a ten-game suspension June 22, 2023 from the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Process, as a result of NCAA violations committed by Wade while coaching at Louisiana State. MEMPHIS (American)-- Penny Hardaway (5 years; 26-9 in the 2022-2023 season; 111-52 at Memphis and overall) was suspended June 21, 2023 for the first three games of the 2023-2024 season by the NCAA for two impermissible in-home visits with a recruit during his junior year of high school in the 2021-2022 academic year, prior to the appropriate recruiting period based on that recruit's year in high school, and will miss the November 6 Jackson State game, the November 10 Missouri game, and the November 17 Alabama State game. MICHIGAN (Big Ten)-- Juwan Howard (4 years, and entering his 5th season; 18-16 in the 2022-2023 season; 79-48 at U-M and overall) underwent successful heart surgery September 15, 2023 to resect an aortic aneurysm and repair his aortic valve, is expected to return to the program in four to six weeks and fully recover within six to twelve weeks, and will be replaced as head coach on an interim basis during his recovery period by Phil Martelli (associate head coach at U-M).

Fearns was named interim head coach for the 2023-2024 season on June 16, 2023. Fearns (1 year; 15-8 this season, at UNCC and overall) was named head coach on February 13, 2024; no terms of compensation nor contract specifications were announced by UNCC.

OLD DOMINION (Sun Belt)-- Jeff Jones (11 years; 3-6 this season; 203-128 at ODU; 560-418 overall) was hospitalized in Honolulu HI after suffering a heart attack December 20, 2023 while preparing for the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic, will be sidelined indefinitely, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis December 20, 2023 by Kieran Donohue (assistant coach at ODU). Jones (11 years; 4-13 this season; 204-135 at ODU; 561-425 overall) announced January 14, 2024 that he would take a leave of absence and miss the remainder of the 2023-2024 season due to a recurrence of prostate cancer, and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis for the balance of the 2023-2024 season January 14, 2024 by Kieran Donohue (assistant coach at ODU). Jones announced his retirement, for medical reasons, on February 26, 2024, and was replaced as head coach March 1, 2024 by Mike Jones (assistant coach at Maryland) effective at the end of the 2023-2024 season; no terms of compensation nor contract specifications were announced by ODU.

TARLETON STATE (Western)-- Billy Gillispie (5 years; 2-2 this season; 32-35 at TSU; 180-143 overall) missed the SoCal Challenge tournament, beginning November 20, 2023, due to "medical circumstances," and was replaced as head coach on an interim basis November 20, 2023 by Joseph Jones (assistant coach at TSU). TSU announced on November 29, 2023, that Gillispie would continue to be sidelined indefinitely due to the aforementioned "medical circumstances." WEST VIRGINIA (Big 12)-- Bob Huggins (16 years; 19-15 in the 2022-2023 season; 343-203 at WVU; 934-415 overall) signed an amended contract May 10, 2023, which reduced his annual compensation from $4.2 million to $3.2 million, and further imposed a three-game suspension and sensitivity training after Huggins was interviewed on Cincinnati radio station WLW on May 8, 2023 and discussed an incident when he recalled "rubber Editedes" being thrown onto the court during a Crosstown Shootout game between Cincinnati and Xavier, further saying "[w]hat it was, was all those f*gs, those Catholic f*gs, I think."

And UMass leaving the A-10 for, uh...the MAC. Good to see that the traditional rivalry between Massachusetts and Central Michigan will be renewed. How does this make sense?

Big shuffling in this week’s Associated Press Top 25, as only #24 Florida maintained its poll position from last week. Houston moved up one spot, supplanting Connecticut at #1, as the 24-3 Cougars defeated then-#6 Iowa State, 73-65, and outlasted then-#11 Baylor on the road in overtime, 82-76, while the 25-3 Huskies saw their fourteen game winning streak get snapped at then-#15 Creighton, 85-66, and defeated Villanova, 78-54, dropping two slots to #3. Purdue moved up one slot to #2, after the Boilermakers defeated Rutgers, 96-68, and won at Michigan, 84-76. Tennessee likewise moved up one spot, from #5 to #4, after the Volunteers won at Missouri, 72-67, and against Texas A&M, 76-51. Marquette moved up two slots, from #7 to #5, after the Golden Eagles won home games against DePaul (105-71) and Xavier (88-64).
Creighton joined Connecticut and Marquette as the only Big East Conference schools ranked in the AP Top 25, as the Bluejays advanced three slots from #15 to #12 after defeating then-#1 Connecticut (85-66) and losing in New York City against unranked St. John’s (80-66). Once again, no other Big East Conference schools received any votes in this week’s polls.
Colorado State, Texas Tech and Brigham Young all fell out of the rankings this week, and were replaced by Utah State, Gonzaga and South Florida. The Rams dropped from #22 after road losses at unranked New Mexico, 68-66, and unranked Nevada Las Vegas, 66-60; the Red Raiders fell from #23 after an 82-81 win against Texas Christian and a 75-61 loss at unranked Central Florida; the Cougars dropped from #25 after a 78-71 victory over then-#11 ranked Baylor, and an 84-74 loss at unranked Kansas State. The Aggies returned to the rankings at #22 after an 68-63 victory over then-#19 ranked San Diego State; the Bulldogs returned to the rankings at #23 after an 86-65 win at Portland and a 94-81 victory over Santa Clara; the Bulls are ranked for the first time this season at #25 after extending their winning streak to thirteen games with wins at Texas San Antonio (66-61) and against Southern Methodist (79-68).
Auburn and Creighton had the largest advances amongst ranked teams in this week’s poll, each moving up three slots. The Tigers moved up from #14 to #11 after a 97-76 win at Georgia, while the Bluejays split games (as noted above) with Connecticut and St. John’s. Dayton had the largest fall amongst still ranked teams, falling five spots from #16 to #21 after a 71-67 loss at George Mason.
