My guess at WBB coach, based on absolutely nothing

Literally dreamed about it last night - Kellogg, the WVU head coach. He has only been there a year but they nearly beat Iowa in round of 32 and played great all year. Not a very tall team, but super scrappy (kinda like Duke). His best player is a junior guard and she is pretty impressive as a defensive standout. Kellogg has been a head coach since 2005 with a lifetime winning percentage of 78%. Small schools yes, but never a losing record. They went as far as we did in the NCAAT, in his 1st year. The WVU program has been successful but has had a lot of turnover. I am not sure why. I will say that even though the ACC is sort of a mess, WVU as an institution is even more of a mess. Last year they found themselves in big financial distress and shut down many of their academic departments, resulting in a near revolt by the faculty. I don't know, but I can imagine the financial woes remain, as in the case with a lot of universities. IMHO VT would be a welcome change, because [unlike what Brooks thinks] we actually DO have resources. Everything is relative.

Current salary is $575k , buyout may be a little steep

I don't understand why Whit doesn't care about the buyout thing...

How much will all this conference realignment hurt our coach search

But at least VT as an institution is financial stable
