The latest additions include:
Delaware: former coach Danny Rocco (Nov. 29)
Maine: Nick Charlton (Dec. 1) – interim coach Andrew Dresner
New Hampshire: former coach Sean McDonnell (Dec. 1)

I find the Rocco dump a bit surprising. He had a pretty good record (in and out of conference) at Delaware. The reason given is (more or less): did not contend for the CAA championship (and, IMO, lost too much to traditional rivals). Maine might do well to pick him up.

The change at Maine seems to be still in the "sources" and "No Comment" limbo. Charlton barely had a winning record (14-13) as head coach at Maine. He is supposedly joining (as OC) the desperation play at UConn, which has gone big time for former NFL coach Jim Mora as their new coach.

The change at UNH is a retirement. McDonnell had 22 years as their coach and was very successful for a long time ... but not this season (3-8).
