Coaching Carousel

In addition to the Michigan opening, several other BCS (not to mention smaller schools) have women's basketball coaching vacancies. Among them: LSU, Florida, Washington, Penn State, Texas, and Cincinnati. Arkansas has filled their opening with Louisville's coach and Louisville in turn hired an assistant from Maryland.

To further muddy the waters, Texas is apparently interested in Duke's current coach Gail Goestenkors and Florida is reportedly interested in Connecticut's Geno Auriemma. While I doubt Michigan will be competing directly with schools like Texas (or Duke), they might well be competing with whichever school loses their coach to Duke.... Not to mention the extra uncertainty could delay decisions as schools and coaches examine all their options.
