This doesn't strike me as a real good fit (southern boy with few recruiting connections in the northeast), but here's hoping it works out:
A source close to the situation said yesterday that Travis Ford was so close to landing the University of Massachusetts men's basketball head coaching job that discussions had gone beyond the interview process, and into the negotiating stage.
The secretive, unpredictable nature of the UMass job search has been such that perhaps nothing can be taken for undisputed fact until the new coach is formally introduced. And sources say Kent State coach Jim Christian - who was believed to be the front-runner as late as Sunday night - was told this week he was not out of the picture yet.
But two sources said Ford was visiting UMass this week, and that only a last-minute snafu over details might derail his candidacy.

I just don't see how he recruits up there. Granted, the A-10 is a God-awful conference and a mediocre team could win 20 games. But it will be very tough.
Then again, how bad would you want to get out of Richmond?
