In response to mrjames
I agree that it might make sense for Smith to leave at this point and time as it may well be his opportunity to cash in. With the loss of Lo, Mullins, Cohen and Rosenberg, he may be thinking that the opportunity may not present itself for several years as the Lions go through some growing pains although it would be good for the Ivy League if he stays.
I think that just about every Ivy League Coach who is successful is subject to considering other opportunities whether it is Amaker--if Duke opens up or Henderson if the right job opportunity is presented this year or next, etc. It is rare indeed to have the Pete Carril's of the world stay in one place for a very long time although maybe Amaker and Jones will decide to stay put for the remainder of their careers. It is certainly a huge plus for an Ivy League school to keep a good coach for a long time.
Ivy League may only be able to stay in the middle of the pack for all conferences unless they keep the majority of the best coaches but it will be tough if they do not alter their compensation program.
