Could we get a vandy transfer. Drew had some good recruits.

Well money talks.....

Bryce Drew f'ed up when he snubbed us. Should have realized he would have had infinite job security at GT with our bad finances

Or Gruden?

Vandy has some big time donors that care about their basketball program. They have had some success in the past and don't be surprised if they pony up some big bucks for their next hire.

Will anyone go after Amaker or is he in waiting for Duke. I am surprised some one has not gone big after him especially an academic school like vandy. Nashville has become a popular city and should be a good attraction for recruiting even with all that country music.

Amaker has had offers. When you’ve coached Jeremy Lin at Harvard, you get offers.

He isn't helped by spending 10 years in major conference basketball with one NCAA tournament appearance. The problem isn't getting offers for jobs. It is getting offers for better jobs than Harvard. That isn't a bad gig.

Harvard is a great level for Amaker, not convinced he would succeed at a P5 level. Also, his wife is on the medical staff at Harvard so whoever wants to hire him has to be able to help her get a comparable position.

Have always heard this is the reason he will never leave

The games aren't particularly interesting at the moment. Let's spread some darned rumors!

He wants zero part of Duke and following K IMHO. He may have found his home

Is that a better job ?

Vandy and Duke both have outstanding medical schools and hospitals on campus. I do have doubts that anyone will be able to follow a legend like Coach K. Next guy up will never measure up. Just like legends Wooten at UCLA and Dean Smith at UNC.

I think Amaker has found his spot. He had a good year at Seton Hall with a solid class then went to Michigan and badly underachieved.

That's an interesting question. It is a much better conference, especially with their new TV contract that is about a quarter of a power 5 TV contract. Neither program has much of a following. I'd think being in a multi-bid league is almost always preferable. Tulane would have to convince him that they are committed to winning, I would guess.
