Jeff Goodman, a basketball analyst, has compiled a list of the top 20 worst coaching hires in men's college basketball since 2000. The list includes Kenny Payne and Greg Heiar at the top spots, with Billy Clyde making two appearances and Tom Crean at No. 20. The decision for the No. 1 spot was not easy, and there are 7 former NBA players/coaches on the list. The rankings have sparked discussions and controversies within the basketball community.
Beyond the decision itself, it's a dicey move to have a lame duck head coach under these circumstances going into next season.
