The coaching carousel in college basketball is in full swing, with multiple significant changes:

1. Sean Miller has exited Xavier to take the reins at Texas, a move that has stirred emotions among fans and alumni alike.

   Miller criticized for leaving a strong program in favor of a new challenge at Texas.

2. Josh Pastner has been confirmed as the new head coach for UNLV after a competitive search process surrounding their vacant position.

   His previous television appearances increased his visibility, ultimately securing the job.

3. Ben McCollum, known for his successful tenure at Drake, has now taken the head coaching job at Iowa.

   McCollum’s hire is seen as a solid move considering his past accomplishments and the need for revival at Iowa.

4. Niko Medved, from Colorado State, has been appointed as the coach of Minnesota.

   Minnesota hopes Medved will bring instant success after a tumultuous few seasons.

5. Ryan Odom, who previously made waves coaching VCU, is now expected to lead Virginia, with high expectations from the program.

   Odom’s ability to navigate high-stakes situations is anticipated to benefit Virginia significantly.

The trends indicate an increasing level of movement among coaches as programs aim for revitalization during the off-season.
