That is a very high % of D1 colleges making changes. I don't believe that that is an unusual amount of changes so it shows that there is a fair risk in coaches who recruit you not being there for the 4 years you are at the college. Also the change in HC usually means the other coaches go as well.
I see one change on the list that effected my friends 3 roommates 3 years ago. He sent them packing and now he is gone. Coach change is a much bigger factor than most realize.
