In the odd chance we need a new head basketball coach in the near future...
How about Matt Matheny at Elon? He is currently in his fourth season after taking over from Ernie Nestor. The cupboard was pretty bare when he got there, but he has improved them every season.
2009-2010: 9-23 overall, 5-13 SoCon
2010-2011: 14-17 overall, 5-13 SoCon
2011-2012: 15-16 overall, 9-9 SoCon
2012-2013: 19-10 overall, 12-5 SoCon
Elon has already clinched the North Division title this season, and with one more win will have the first 20 win season since Elon has been Division I. The will be the second seed in the conference tournament behind Davidson. Matheny is a Davidson grad and was an assistant under Bob McKillop for 16 seasons. He's got a lot of experience, but he's still only 43 years old. They currently start four juniors and a freshman (the juniors represent Matheny's first recruiting class). Regardless of what happens this season, they will be the favorites in the SoCon going into next year.
He's going to start getting looks from bigger programs pretty soon, I'd say.
