There's no reason Manuel shouldn't see if Tony Bennett would be interested in leaving Virginia or if Michigan, for some reason, is the job that finally lures Mark Few away from Gonzaga. Bennett, 49, won this year's national championship. Few, 56, has built Gonzaga into a national powerhouse.

Rick Barnes, while older (65) and less successful in recent years than those two, has won nearly 700 games. He took Tennessee to the Sweet 16 last season and was reportedly ready to leave for UCLA until a buyout got in the way.
