The search for a new University of Miami basketball coach is going quickly, according to several sources, and there could be a hire as early as Monday or Tuesday.
Acting athletic director Tony Hernandez and search committee chairman Paul DiMare have traveled to Atlanta to meet with the Parker Executive Search firm, and are said to have narrowed the list to a few finalists.
Names that have emerged are University of Alabama-Birmingham's Mike Davis, Murray State's Billy Kennedy, Harvard's Tommy Amaker, Richmond's Chris Mooney, and John Capel and John Pelphrey, both of whom were recently fired, Capel by Oklahoma and Pelphrey by Arkansas.

He's going to be 66 in a few days. If we lose him to anything, it'll be retirement. I don't think he's going to go anywhere. If he was in it for the money he wouldn't be at FAU. He would've either held out for a better job or bolted at the first chance he got

Our 1,800 fans have been a huge improvement (I remember going to games with about 150), but we need sellouts to force the issue. 1,800 will not take this program any further.
Look at Butler. The school has only 4,600 students. They were averaging about 6,000 fans per game 3 years ago before they were ever known like they are today.
People wonder how tiny Butler can have a bigger basketball budget than FAU. That's how. Students and the community go to games. They generate revenue.

However, you gotta remember Butler is in Indiana. They eat, sleep, and breathe basketball up there. The only professional team playing at the same time is the Pacers, and honestly who wants to watch them?

I understand what you're saying and to a point I agree.

I totally agree. I grew up in Indiana eating, sleeping, and breathing basketball.
That's why I keep stressing the difficulty ahead to build our program. I don't care who our coach is…our students and community have to decide if they want this program to move to another level. That is how we will keep the coach we want. That is how we will build the facility we want.
