BC Hunts New Basketball Coach

0:00On March 17, Boston College is on the hunt for a new men's basketball-head coach after firing Earl Grant last Friday. The Eagles wrapped up a rough season with an 11-20 overall record, and just four wins in 14 Atlantic Coast Conference games. They missed the conference tournament and snapped an 8-game losing streak too late to matter. The program hasn't reached the NCAA tournament since the 2008-2009 season, and Grant's five years there ended with a 72-92 mark. Earlier this week, experts pointed out why this job isn't drawing huge crowds. It's in one of college hoops toughest leagues. Names floating around include coaches from Merrimack, Colgate, Yale, Ferman, and a UConn assistant. Fans and insiders are buzzing about these mid-major standouts who could bring fresh energy to the Eagles. One intriguing option is Los Angeles Clippers assistant, Jay Laranaga, who's spent nearly a decade with the Boston Celtics. His dad, Jim Laranaga, built a strong run in Miami giving him solid hoops roots.

As the coaching carerself spins faster this off-season, Boston College faces an uphill climb to land a proven winner, but these candidates show promise. Returning things around in Chestnut Hill.
