Amaker on the move?

We might end up seeing both of this year's Ivy League co-champion coaches leave the conference. Rumors have been swirling on Twitter and certain mainstream media sources that Harvard's Tommy Amaker is the frontrunner for the open coaching gig at Miami. The Canes' job opened up when their coach of the last seven years, Frank Haith, took the job at Missouri.

That Miami Herald article says the announcement could come today. Others on Twitter, who aren't really reliable enough (as far as I know) to quote directly think it will be later this week. Either way, it's very interesting if Amaker does indeed jump ship. Perhaps some former Penn recruits could entertain the option of leaving the Crimson for greener (or bluer and redder) pastures? Time will tell. I'll stay on top of it. Stay tuned.

ESPN's Andy Katz also weighed in on the subject, pointing out what is likely Amaker's strongest reason for staying with the Crimson: his wife is a professor at Harvard. While there's definitely still some room for Amaker to climb professionally, Harvard's about as good as it gets for a professor, so that will definitely be a factor.
