Arizona State has fired Herb Sendek and made an offer to Jeff Capel.

Capel is a former head coach at VCU and Oklahoma currently serving as an assistant coach at Duke.

"They have interest," a source told ESPN.com's Myron Medcalf. "They've told [Capel] it's his if he wants it."

 

Sendek went 159-137 in his nine seasons at Arizona State. He had a short meeting with athletic director Ray Anderson on Tuesday morning before the decision was made.

"This has not been an easy decision for me," Anderson said in a statement released by the school. "Herb has been a tremendous asset to this university and a pillar of our community, and his tenure over the past nine years has helped shift the direction of this program."
