Not exactly tournament related, but since it relates to a non-Big Ten team I'll post it here. Just one season after a sweet-sixteen appearance, Steve Alford is reported to have voluntarily returned his contract extension at UCLA. Although I think he's a very bad game coach (not least because his son probably has the longest leash in the history of basketball), I appreciate the accountability of this move. More coaches should do this when they fail to live up to expectations -- rather than just hope that big buyouts, accumulated goodwill, and anxieties about change will keep their seats cool regardless of results.
