Isn't Corrigan too old at this point?

I would think UVA would want someone a bit younger.


Seems like the time for that move has passed...

...given that he's getting up there in age. Plus, he's been here such a long time that thoughts of returning east (something he once thought he and his wife would do after a few years, I remember reading) have probably faded. Maybe a decade ago...

You'd think UVA AD Littlepage -- having let go an older coach -- will want to go younger. It will be interesting...in the past, you'd look at an Ivy League coach (like Starsia was) and think they'd jump to the ACC, but with endowed coaching slots, these positions are getting paid more than in the past. How much more I don't know....

Still, a coach like Andy Shay of Yale comes to mind. If they want a UVA guy, Kip Sullivan of Brown is an accomplished assistant...but an assistant.

But you never know what the search will bring up and/or if Coach Corrigan and family might be looking for something....stay tuned.


If they do go with an older guy...

would be curious to see if they consider Mike Caravana from Denison, a former UVA player and until recently was their all-time leading scorer
