Coaching Changes
VCU
Was- Anthony Grant (To Alabama)
Is- Shaka Smart (Florida Asst.)
Chopped VCU off the bottom
Chopped VCU off the bottom there, good catch. Also adding Cal Poly's new hire today

David Carter in at Nevada
David Carter in at Nevada
Anyone know much about
Anyone know much about Carter? He known as a quality recruiter?

Coach Carter
He was one of the main recruiters at Nevada for 10 years under Trent Johnson and then Mark Fox and has strong ties to California. He primarily works with the Guards and is largely credited with improving players like Kirk Snyder, Marcellus Kemp, Ramon Sessions, and now Armon Johnson. He doesn't have any head coaching experience but has had to step in on a couple of occasions when Mark Fox has been ejected with the most recent being a come from behind win against VCU in the bracketbuster game. I really don't think Nevada will miss a beat with Coach Carter.

Zona JOb
Yahoo says Sean Miller is going to coach at AZ now, a day after turning them down.

UConn
Uconn
Was- Jim Calhoun (Retired)
Is- John Wooden (the brink of death)

Hampton
Hampton has named Ed Joyner, Jr. as interim coach for 2009-10.
Thanks, I'll update that one
Thanks, I'll update that one in a little bit.

Xavier and Florida Int.
Assistant coach Chris Mack has been named as Xavier's new coach.
Isaiah Thomas has agreed to take over at Florida International

Seattle
Washington assistant Cameron Dollar is the new coach at Seattle Univ.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. That pretty much leaves Appalachian St as the only opening left.




One more
It was announced earlier today that Kevin Nickleberry resigned at Hampton after three seasons.
