Will Lav be a candidate for any of them ??

Would Willard be interested in moving to Chestnut Hill ???


Willard is having much more success at Seton Hall than he would have at BC. In fact, most of the teams that left the "old" Big East for "greener pastures" have not fared nearly as well in basketball in the ACC. BC, Syracuse, Pitt, and Notre Dame are schools that immediately come to mind. All were formidable in the BE, not so much nowadays.

Penn State feels like one of those places that the right coach could do really well at. Resources are probably outstanding. It's a great college town. 
 
It's not splahy but BC could do alot worst then Mark Schmidt from the Bonnies. Fantastic coach and if anybody has ever been to there campus or Olean in general i think you would understand how difficult it would be to get players to go there. Schmidt is also a former BC player. John Becker from Vermont would also be a solid choice.

BC being in the ACC just kills them tho. I think we are kind of seeing it with Cuse, although certaintly not to the same degree, but being in that conference so isolated from the other teams with no natural or geographical rivalries. They are building a new practice facility so maybe that will help on the recruiting front but man, such a tough job.
 
I hope CMA us happy at SJU.  I get nauseus at the thought of some other school poaching him. 

BC should consider the coach from Loyola of Chicago.  
 
Penn State like Alabama and other huge football schools, BB has taken a clear back seat, not a real history and tradition.
 
If Lav launches back into coaching I hope it is not in the BE, I don't want to have to root against him. I like him too much.

Both places would have been great for his lifestyle outside of basketball. I think he would have done better at Washington than Cal, though.

He has a very good agent.
 
Lavin is excellent in the booth.  He's easy to listen to, seems to root for the kids, and will mention a bad call if he sees it.  That's all i really want from an announcer.  I know he probably wasn't a contender for the Udubb job, but I bet they wouldn't mind him walking through that door instead of Hop.
