There are high major job openings up at Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Penn State.
While not at the top of the list for Tennessee, Coach Banghart's name has been mentioned by a number of sports writers.

- Rising talents
Courtney Banghart
Current job: Princeton coach
Princeton is the only head coaching job Banghart has ever had, and she's thrived in the role. She's led the Tigers to eight NCAA Tournament appearances in her 12 seasons as coach. Princeton had never made the Big Dance before hiring Banghart.
Banghart, 40, has never coached in college outside the Ivy League. Her first college job was as an assistant at Dartmouth, her alma mater.
She was named the Naismith National Coach of the Year following the 2014-15 season, when Princeton went 31-1 and reached the NCAA tournament's second round. Also in 2015, Fortune Magazine named her among the world's 50 greatest leaders. -

- As far as hiring someone with a big name, some possibilities would include Louisville’s Jeff Walz, Maryland’s Brenda Frese, Gonzaga’s Lisa Fortier, Princeton’s Courtney Banghart and Oregon State’s Scott Rueck. -

- Solid credentials: UCLA’s Cori Close, Princeton’s Courtney Banghart, Central Florida’s Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, Rice’s Tina Langley, Drake’s Jennie Baranczyk and Gonzaga’s Lisa Fortier.
Among this group, Close has coached UCLA to four consecutive Sweet 16s and an Elite Eight last season.
Banghart was the Naismith national coach of the year in 2015, leading the Tigers to 31 victories. She has 254 victories in 12 seasons and has taken a program that had never qualified for the NCAA tournament to eight appearances in the past 10 years. -
There has been no info as of yet about possible replacements at GT and PSU.
If the Coach returns for next year, it might be worthwhile to keep an eye on Wake Forest. WF just hired a new AD, John Currie, who previously worked at Kansas State and Tennessee. After being fired at Tennessee in 12/2017, he taught a one week class at Columbia for their Sports Management Program.
At his introductory press conference, he was asked about the class he taught and mentioned that he is close friends with Robin Harris. Harris and Coach Banghart both came to the class to talk to his students.

- Luckily for me, they have curriculum designers with course outcomes — modules and all this sharp academic stuff, They had two sharp women who helped me design the class. The cool thing about it was the guest speakers I was able to get to come. We had 15 grad students. It’s a seminar-type deal that went all day. We had Robin Harris, who is a really good friend who is executive director of the Ivy Group, who is like their commissioner. Her husband went to K State. Then we had Greg Sankey who came and spent an hour-and-a-half. We was awesome and is a great friend. We had Courtney Banghart, who is the women’s basketball coach at Princeton. She’s an incredible coach. -
The WF women's coach, Jen Hoover, has been there for 7 seasons and just finished her worst season at 10-20 (1-15). In her other 6 years, her best year was 17-16 (6-10) in 2015-2016 and she has not done better than 9th in the ACC.
