I figured in light of Bobby Petrino getting fired, I am willing to offer a prize of a six pack of Jackie O's to who can guess the date (or come closest) to when the first firing is of basketball season. Another 12 beers if you can peg the job that it happens at first.

For something other than domestic/personal issues or NCAA infractions, I'd say March 1. ADs aren't so willing to pull the trigger on b-ball coaches as they are on football coaches.

My early pick would be GWU. Maurice Joseph is in his second-plus year (he was interim coach in 2016) and hasn't been impressive. He's 35-36 overall and 17-19 in the A10. This year they're 0-3 with home losses to Stony Brook and Sienna and a 19-pt loss at UVA. He's in the third year of a five-year contract, which would likely have not too large of a buyout

GW is now 0-5. Yesterday they trailed a so-so South Carolina team 49-8 with about three minutes to go in the first half. If this keeps up, Joseph may be gone before the conference season starts.
