Monmouth head coach King Rice is a top candidate for the head coaching vacancy left by Kevin Stallings at Vanderbilt, according to The Tennessean. Another top name on their list is Bryce Drew of Valpo.
When I think of Monmouth, like many others I immediately think of their fantastic bench and wonder how those antics can be duplicated on the baselines of Memorial Gymnasium.
However, upon further examination, Rice was actually an assistant for Stallings for five years from 2006-11. He was also a member of North Carolina’s 1991 Final Four team along with Hubert Davis and Rick Fox.
