We don't know what will happen as there are lots of games left to be played. We do know that he only has one year left on his contract, which means that Rossini will have to make a decision by March. So this isn't to argue whether he will be retained or not, or whether he should be or not. This is us assuming a change will be made and to look at possible candidates.
I would love Will Wade, but I don't think ASU has a realistic shot even if Rossini and Crow were on board with him given that he is a Clemson grad and has always coached in the southeast. Clemson's coach has been there 14 seasons and he just took them to an Elite-8 last year, so he's not going anywhere. I do think there will be a lot of programs coming after Wade starting in April as his show-cause expires. I would think that Miami would be a great fit for him.
Chris Mack is very intriguing to me. Born in Ohio, played at Xavier. Killed it at Xavier when he took over, after being Miller's assistant, when Miller left for u4. He actually did better at Xavier than Miller had. He took over Louisville 2 season after Pitino departed. Struggled there somewhat (Covid being part of his tenure there) and then was dismissed for something to do with an assistant trying to blackmail him and him recording the conversation. Weird for sure. Now at the College of Charleston after their former coach left for Louisville. He's currently at 15-4 and doing well.
