Fred Hill remains twisting in the wind after being told he will not return at Rutgers, who has offered a buyout that the head coach has yet to accept. (Photo courtesy of Newark Star-Ledger)Rutgers could finalize today what has been known for several weeks already, as head basketball coach Fred Hill is expected to be terminated "for cause" once the coach and athletic director Tim Pernetti agree to a buyout.
The Scarlet Knights went 47-77 in four years under Hill, who was offered a $600,000 settlement by the university. Hill has refused to accept the buyout, and although he could be dismissed today, the separation of coach and program may not become official right away, due to legal complications.
Rutgers is reportedly looking at Fran Fraschilla and Jim O'Brien as their top candidates to replace Hill once his firing becomes official.
