Our theory for the last couple of years is that the problems the ACC has been having would be fixed by hiring some new coaches. Mission accomplished: with Frank Haith's move to Missouri, seven ACC teams have changed coaches in the last three years.
Interestingly, a few years ago the ACC had seven African-American coaches. Six of them - Al Skinner, Dave Leitao, Oliver Purnell, Paul Hewitt, Sidney Lowe and Frank Haith - are gone. Only Purnell and Haith left voluntarily.
