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 6 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.

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.

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.

I think this one is set for the "we wish him well in his future endeavors" press release at season's end. Michigan is 8-21 and in last place, on track for its worst season since 1982.

The buyout is $3 million.

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."
