Tubby Smith? Fired. Ben Howland? Fired. Getting to the tournament is not enough for some college basketball programs; you gotta win. Tubby was under heavy fire at Minnesota for the disappointment of a season that started with the team ranked high and ended with a whimper, broken only by beating UCLA in a game that sealed Howland's fate -- the longest-tenured coach in Westwood since Wooden, and Pac-12 champ this season, but a 233-107 record isn't good enough if you don't win it all.
