West Virginia Men's Basketball Coaching Search Odds
| Odds | Name | Current Job | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| -250 | Current D1 head coach | AD Wren Baker needs someone with a history of building (rebuilding) programs. Too many quality coaches out there right now to go with an untested assistant. | |
| +275 | Mark Byington | Head Coach - James Madison | Won the Sun Belt this season at JMU with a 31-3 (15-3) record. Virginia native has also been the head coach at Georgia Southern. Is 219-136 (.617) in 12-seasons as a D1 HC. |
| +400 | Pat Kelsey | Head Coach - College of Charleston | Has won back-to-back CAA Championships. 27 wins this year, 31 last year. Also sent 9 seasons as the head coach at Winthrop. Is 261-121 (.683) in his 12 seasons as a D1 HC. |

| +925 | Dusty May | Head Coach - Florida Atlantic | Will be on every HM list this spring. Big 12 job > FAU, but he will most likely do better when the time is right. |
| +950 | Chris Mack | Former Head Coach Louisville and Xavier | 278-133 (.676) in 13 seasons as a D1 head coach. Big East COY 2018, A10 COY 2011. A few other jobs make more sense right now (Ohio State, Vandy). |
| +975 | Current HM D1 assistant | Not the time to hire an assistant, but if Baker wants to stick his neck out for one, so be it. | |
| +1100 | Dustin Kerns | Head Coach - Appalachian State | 27-6 this season at App State, and 97-64 (.602) overall there in 5 seasons. |

| +25000 | Bob Huggins | Former Head Coach - West Virginia | According to mega donor Ken Kendrick, Huggins "future with WVU sports is totally at an end. And anyone who would think he should be considered — I’d really question whether they ought to seek some counseling.” |
