UCF AD Danny White juggles two basketball coaching searches

In the span of just four days, Danny White is gearing up for his third head coaching search since taking over as UCF's new athletics director in December.

He dismissed men's basketball coach Donnie Jones and women's basketball coach Joi Williams this week in an effort to raise the school's overall competitive profile and ease the frustration among fans. Both teams lost in the first round during their respective American Athletic Conference tournaments.

Change comes swiftly at UCF these days and White doesn't anticipate the process slowing down even as he'll juggle multiple head coaching searches in the midst of March Madness.
