South Florida reached the NCAAs just one time in the 49-year-old's seven seasons leading the program.

Heath, who took Kent State to the Elite 8 in 2001-02 and led Arkansas to a pair of NCAA trips in 2006 and 2007, compiled a 97-130 overall record with the Bulls and has gone 209-207 over 13 seasons as a Division I head coach.
