How many years did Matt Doherty last at UNC? Do you think Bob Knight would have been fired if his post-season success had been what it was? (Answer: no) UK wants to fire John Calipari, and Tubby Smith "resigned". Texas fired Rick Barnes and Shaka "resigned". IU fired Tom Crean and Mike Davis. Steve Lavin, Steve Alford and Ben Howland at UCLA. Bruce Weber at Illinois.I really question your claim that "Coaches get fired all of the time for lack of March success in a much smaller time period." There may be some but I cannot think of one. I know coaches get fired for not making the NCAA Tournament, but I can't think of a coach that pretty consistently makes the NCAA Tournament but does not make a FF and gets fired absent some other issue like recruiting violations or scandal. Can you name some as it happens "...all of the time." so there must be a good number of them?
How much time do you have? I'm sure I can come up with more. You do have a game coming up in a few minutes, lol
