That has been the rumour for a couple of days but I am surprised he got the axe.

Cut and paste did not turn out so well. Seperate article in DDN http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/sports/herb-sendeks-c.../

All those coaches who are in his tree are pretty impressive and include those who came under the guys under like Stevens at Butler. Groce attributes his breaks in coaching came from being at Miami as a volunteer coach under Sendek. Herb has left quite a legacy. He will land somewhere and be successful I am sure
