Coaching Carousel, Update 11

UCLA has their man, and it's "Slick Rick".

No, not that one (but you have to admit that it would be cool)

Nope, they went from a man that UCLA fans admit was "classy", "nice", "dedicated", and "cared about his students" (All overheard at the UCLA/Cal Game) to a man who amassed 50 NCAA violations in his last two stops (Colorado and Washington). Who says money can't buy happiness??

Also, Southern Illinois hired Dale Lennon. I know, huge news. So, the number of African American head coaches is still 5.
