It would be great to get those insights as a fan

Any “exit interview” will be done by the coach (head and/or positional). These interviews are the face to face conversations at the end of the year that go into subjects like playing time, fit for next year and in the future, further development and what a player needs to do, and of course money. The coaches could tell a player they no longer have a spot, or a player can take this information and decide to leave for any number of reasons. Players could just be unhappy with life at tech and want to move on regardless of any other factor. Or a player could have graduated and want to go get a masters at another school. I would hope these details are shared in the AD with those who can make college athletes experiences better, but much of these conversations will be too personal to be shared with fans. @TheFacts puts it succinctly, it’s mostly going to be about $$ and playing time. Most of these kids have 4 to 5 years to make as much money as possible while playing in college with no pro prospects. To do so they need to play early and often. It sucks for us fans, but I understand the desire to capitalize on this, and can’t fault any player for doing so.

Does the AD do exit interviews for WBB?

Yes, NCAA mandates exit interviews (Code 6.3) of players leaving programs.

Outside of the circumstances where interactions with the coach are

Per NCAA: While head coaches hold end of season meetings to discuss
