The jobs that would seem to be "best" to choose from are: Stanford, Pitt, Saint Louis, James Madison, Tulane, San Francisco, Western KY, and then a toss-up for the rest. Maybe I put our name too high on the list? Maybe it should be at the top, instead? Regardless, Pitt certainly "stands out" among all of these vacancies as no worse than a Top 3.
Ordinarily, I'd suggest that given the timing of Jamie's leaving and the NCAA Tournament being coincidental, it would make sense to wait until after the Final game to announce a coach. But that said, I highly doubt there are any of the coaches with teams still alive in the NCAA T that we would be after, or who would consider making a move.
OTOH, the NIT, CBI and CIT are still going, and perhaps we are looking to one of those coaches as a candidate? Obviously we can't contact them during the tournament, but among this list is there anyone you actually think Barnes might be waiting to call?
