Now that Lorenzo Romar’s coaching seat is scorching hot, two things need to be taken into consideration: First, the University of Washington’s budget is at a deficit, so a buyout of his contract seems unlikely.
Second, his recruiting class coming in next year is among the best in the nation, highlighted by Michael Porter Jr. Romar deserves one more year to turn this thing around. But if he misses the NCAA tournament after next year, it will be time for him to go.

Wait till next year
It would be really stupid to fire Romar now.
