ESPN - Sources: Georgia Tech finalizing Damon Stoudamire hire

Boston Celtics assistant Damon Stoudamire is finalizing a five-year deal to become Georgia Tech's next head coach, sources said. The school's board of trustees plans to approve the hire Monday.

Stoudamire has informed the Celtics he plans to take the job and make the move back to college. He brings a blend of college and NBA coaching experience along with a strong playing pedigree, a mix Tech officials are hopeful can resuscitate the relevance of a program that has faded in recent years.

Former assistant (1 year) get head coaching gig. K.T. Turner has been hired as the next coach for UT-Arlington. He was on the bench for our Final Four run.

Pitino agreed to a six year deal with St. John's.

Looks like Iona is looking to replace the long time coaching legend in Pitino with a guy who has one year of D1 HC experience.

ESPN - Sources: Iona eyes FDU's Tobin Anderson to replace Pitino

Fairleigh Dickinson's Tobin Anderson, the breakout coaching star of the NCAA tournament, has emerged as the top target to be the next coach at Iona, sources told ESPN.

Anderson would replace Rick Pitino, who left Iona for St. John's on Monday after three seasons. In replacing Pitino, Iona appears poised to strike quickly and land a coach within a short time frame. Pitino left Iona on Monday and is being introduced at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

In his first year at FDU, Anderson led the team to what many consider the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history. The 16th-seeded Knights stunned No. 1 Purdue 63-58 for just the second upset of a No. 1 seed in the first round since the men's tournament expanded to 64 teams back in 1985. That propelled a small-school lifer to become a household name in college basketball in the course of a weekend.

In the wake of the upset, FDU and Anderson emerged as the darlings of the NCAA tournament, including a Monday morning appearance on "Today" upon return from the round-of-32 loss to ninth-seeded Florida Atlantic in Columbus.

Apparently Anderson was a finalist for the job when they hired Pitino.

Dana Altman is pissed that Oregon had 3,300 in attendance in their last home game. He's daring Oregon to make a coaching change if they think it's him.

Wonder what happens if McDermott goes to Notre Dame?

DeVries to Creighton, Altman to Drake.

I strongly doubt McDermott is going anywhere. That said, if he were to leave, my guess is Creighton would look for a top shelf, proven guy. With Pitino now at St. John's, Creighton has no choice but to hire a whale. Coaching in the BE has gotten really, really good. It will be interesting to see who replaces Cooley at Providence.

[MoValley John]

Kim English to Providence. I've been working too many hours to keep up, he was hired this afternoon. Dana Altman to George Mason would be awesome.

[MoValley John]

Notre Dame to hire Micha Shrewsberry. Dana Altman to Iowa Western CC.

Sounds like we should know who's taking the New Mexico State mess over soon. Sounds like Nicholls, Austin Claunch will be the man. He's been another promising up and comer who's seen some success at Nicholls.

That is true. BE coaching is a murderers' row.

Rumors were wrong. Jason Hooten (Sam Houston St.) was named the new coach. Speculation I'd seen was that SHSU upped their offer to try and keep him and that people thought it was enough.

NMSU and SHSU are both in the WAC currently but both joining CUSA July 1.

Sounds like Terry is currently in negotiations to become the HC at Texas.
