UT Update

From Mike DeCoursey:

Tennessee is aiming big early in its coaching search, attempting to attract interest from Texas Tech's Bob Knight. Knight, by joining Pat Summit, would give the Volunteers two of the most successful coaches in college history, but there's a question of whether Knight's age (64) and extremely high profile would be detriments--and whether the move would be a significant upgrade for him. You also can expect a push for Cincinnati's Bob Huggins, although that might be a tough sell to the UT administration. The Vols would do well to focus less on name value and more on a coach who could elevate the program from the ground level, somebody such as Charlotte's Bobby Lutz or Murray State's Mick Cronin. . . .
