I still think he's going to make the jump to UK, but then again, I don't really know anything. While all the focus in the world has been on Cal, there have been plenty of other moves in the coaching world. Done Deals ALABAMA - Everyone knew that Anthony Grant was going somewhere in the SEC, the only question was where. The Crimson Tide walk away winners in the Grant sweepstakes, even after the Kentucky job came - which in turn may have opened the Florida job Grant almost had in 2007. VIRGINIA - After buying out Dave Lieato, the Cavs were able to lure 2007 National Coach of the Year Tony Bennett from Pullman to Charlottesville. This comes one year after Bennett turned down both Indiana and LSU. I guess the ACC really does have that kind of pull. VCU - Keeping with the VCU-Florida connection, the Rams didn't waste any time looking for Grant's replace, nabbing Florida assistant Shaka Smith. Smith has already been placed on the "STF All-Name Watch List" for 2010. In The Works GEORGIA - The Bulldogs are tempting Mike Anderson a possible salary of 2 million, about double what he is being paid at Mizzou. If they can't get Anderson, Georgia is expected to make a run at Miami's Frank Haith. This will easily make Georgia the most hated team in the STF world. WASHINGTON STATE - New to the job search after Bennett's departure, Andy Katz is reporting that the Cougars will go after Portland State's Ken Bone, Saint Mary's Randy Bennett and San Diego's Billy Grier. Holding Pattern MEMPHIS - Assuming Calapari does leave, that creates a pretty attractive job opening in Memphis. According to Dan Wolken of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal (and friend of STF) says that hot names are Mike Anderson, Tim Floyd, Tony Barbee of UTEP. ARIZONA - Anyone else forget that this mega-job is still open? Reggie Theus, Mark Few and Tubby Smith are a few of the names being thrown around, but I'm sure the Zona job will jump to the forefront once Coach Cal has made up his mind.
