potential coaching replacements, but hadn't spoken with any candidates.
"The job just became available at five oclock tonight," Perkins said. "I would never do that."
There is no timetable for completing the coaching search.
Perkins was headed to the women's basketball game and said he would start work on finding a new coach tomorrow.
"I think the future of Kansas Athletics is very, very bright," Perkins said. "I think this is a very attractive job. I wouldn't be surprised, that this is out now, that all kinds of people will be interested in the job."
According to a Kansas Athletics press release, assistant coaches David Beaty, Clint Bowen and Bill Miller will share interim head coaching duties.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released a statement Thursday night

Lawrence, 1970. On one corner of campus, a group of about 40 students gather in the street. Some hold signs that pierce the sky above their heads for emphasis. They stand against the members of the National Guard and Lawrence police force with only a few feet of electrified air separating them. Tear gas canisters are held at the ready. Someone charges, and the burning gas is let loose against the crowd.
