One never knows..but..I think you are correct Sir.

I almost am hoping they get blown out in their next game and we get a shot at him. Im very impressed with how he prepared his team for this game and SUPER impressed with his post game interview. He is one cool customer. He had not even broken a sweat in this game.

I think we still have a chance with him. His sample size is really small so I don't know if really big schools will go after him just yet. ECU would be a great opportunity to showcase himself. I was really impressed with his gameplan against UVA, he certainly shot up on my list.

I think he might still be in play. He's only coached in places in the southeast up until he took the UMBC job (which isn't that far removed), and there are only two openings in that part of the country right now: ECU and Charlotte. Tell me which of those you'd probably pick.

Of course, being a coach with roots firmly planted in the southeast didn't stop another high profile coach whom all in this forum either love or loathe (depending on your point of view) from uprooting to another part of the country. But I can't forsee Dave Odom's son straying too far from ACC country.

First of all he was an assistant coach at Charlotte. He became the interim head coach when Allen Majors was fired.

Second of all he has connections to ECU. His father used to be the head coach at ECU. His father was an assistant coach under Terry Holland at Virginia. Terry Holland later retired as AD at ECU. On top of that Dave Odom is on the committee doing the coaching search for ECU. Holland might also be on that committee, but I am not quite sure about that. Dave Odom has even said that his son is being considered for the position, but that he steps out the room when the committee mentions his son's name.

The only question that ever comes up is nepotism, but it is now obvious that the kid can actually coach.
