Yes, it has begun.
First, Sacramento State's Brian Katz decided to retire right before the season: MEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD COACH BRIAN KATZ ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Last night, Seattle fired Jim Hayford after he used a racial slur during a scrimmage: Statement by Seattle University Director of Athletics Shaney Fink on the Resignation of Coach Jim Hayford - Seattle University
Also, technically Cal State Northridge is open as well since Mark Gottfried is on leave, and Trent Johnson is coaching them in the interim.
Openings:
Cal State Northridge
Sacramento State
Seattle
My first bad guess at the hot seat/potential openings (based on hunches about the respective programs that may not be based in anything):
Multi-Bids:
South Florida
Temple
SMU
Pittsburgh
Kansas State
Washington
Vanderbilt
Georgia
UMass
La Salle
One-Bids:
Binghamton
Charleston-Southern
Long Beach State
Middle Tennessee
Quinnipiac
UL Monroe
Illinois State
Valparaiso
