The PAC-10 plays 18 conference games each season, so that would mean that nine wins are necessary in each of the two seasons that the team made that tournament. That leaves only eight conference wins total for the other three seasons. So going 3-15 or 2-16 a couple of times is going to get a coach fired.

Sure would. Poor Todd Lickliter won 15 conference games over three years and that got him fired.
