David Williams: No Search Firm for Basketball Coach, "Over 100, 125 Names" Being Examined

The Commodore Director of Athletics opened up about his plans for Vandy's next basketball coach.

Vanderbilt didn't hire a new basketball coach on Monday, but Director of Athletics David Williams laid out the parameters he'll take to find a new leader for the hardwood Commodores.

Williams addressed reporters one day after 17-year veteran Kevin Stallings was hired away by Pittsburgh. In the face of the program's first coaching search of the millennium, he told the press Vandy wouldn't hire a search firm to find the ideal candidate for the school. Instead, former head coach Eddie Fogler will be the only outside influence on the team's choice.
