The Coaching Carousel: 2008 Edition

To paraphrase Heidi Klum... in college basketball, one day you're in, and the next, you're out. Since the season ended, several college coaches have found out what it's like to get the old "Auf Wiedersehen" from their athletic directors.

Several programs are looking for new leaders. Some of the positions are glamorous -- like the Indiana job that will reportedly go to Marquette's Tom Crean. Others -- like the job at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, fresh off a 0-and-29 season -- less so.

Here's a rundown of the openings, who's out, and who's in. The reason for each coach's departure -- firing, resignation or new job -- is listed in parentheses.
