Grant Accepts Job at Alabama

Anthony Grant, now former head coach at VCU and heir apparent to Billy Donovan (should he ever leave Florida), will be officially named the new Alabama coach in a press conference tomorrow.

VCU's Grant heavily courted by Alabama

Anthony Grant interviewed at the University of Alabama yesterday. He had his wife with him and visited with the President. All signs are pointing to an announcement in the coming days.

Wanted men

In order of demand (expect to see Gregory and McDonald's stock rise if their teams make it to the Sweet 16):

Tubby Smith, Minnesota
Anthony Grant, VCU
Mike Anderson, Missouri
Brian Gregory, Dayton
Sean Miller, Xavier
Brad Stevens, Butler
Oliver Purnell, Clemson
Tim Floyd, USC
Ken McDonald, Western Ky.
Keith Dambrot, Akron
Fran McCaffrey, Siena
Mike Rice, Robert Morris

UVA shows wishful thinking

You've probably heard by now, but Dave Leitao, the head coach at Virginia, has "resigned". The Cav program plans to pursue Minnesota's Tubby Smith, VCU's Anthony Grant, and Oklahoma's Jeff Capel. Their main goal is to find someone who can recruit. Smith is a good game-time coach, but he acquired the "unable to recruit" tag near the end of his time at Kentucky. There's no doubt that all three coaches will be approached with other, more enticing offers as soon as the season is over, so UVA better come up with a few more names to add to their list.

Ten coaches feeling the heat

According to CBSSports.com (in alphabetical order)--
Bill Carmody, Northwestern
Ed DeChellis, Penn State
Dennis Felton, Georgia
Bobby Gonzalez, Seton Hall
Mark Gottfried, Alabama
Leonard Hamilton, Florida State
Ernie Kent, Oregon
Tom Penders, Houston
Norm Roberts, St. John's
Gary Williams, Maryland

Is Williams safe at Maryland?
