Ollie goes. Tubby stays.

I look for the reaper to visit KO this weekend.

I think Hurley can do better. It's not going to be an easy hire, which is one reason they might hang onto KO.

Going from the PAC 12 to UConn would be a step down for him, IMO

I'd be kind of surprised if the kept Kevin Ollie, but you're not wrong.

Tubby is gone

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22761317/coach-tubby-smith-fired-memphis-tigers-21-win-season

Tubby Smith is no longer the coach at Memphis after two seasons, including a 21-win campaign this year. Former Tigers standout Penny Hardaway has emerged as the front-runner to replace him, sources told ESPN.

"After considerable deliberations and in the best financial interest of the University of Memphis, an agreement of separation with Head Men's Basketball Coach Tubby Smith has been reached," the school said in a statement. "Details are to be finalized, and no further comment will be offered."
