Mercer and Long Beach State have both parted ways with their basketball coaches, Greg Gary and Dan Monson, respectively. The news comes as a surprise ahead of the conference tournaments. Amanda Butler has also been let go as the Clemson women's basketball coach after struggling on the court despite recent recruiting successes.
