May 20, 2010
Four years ago, Arizona State was one of 14 major conference schools to make a men's basketball head coaching change and one of 60 overall. Here is a look at who remains and who is gone, as Coach Sendek is 76-56 in his four seasons and earned 2010 Pac-10 Coach of the Year, just the second Sun Devil coach to notch the feat in ASU's 32 years of Pac-10 play.
ASU finished second in the Pac-10 (12-6) for the first time since 1980-81 after it was picked for seventh in the preseason media poll and tenth by Sporting News.
ASU is the only team in the Pac-10 to post 20 wins in each of the past three seasons and is 32-22 (.593) in Pac-10 regular season games the past three seasons, tied for the second-best mark with Washington.
