[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica] West Virginia coach John Beilein and former UCLA coach Steve Lavin -- both linked to the opening in recent days -- each said Wednesday they would remain in their current jobs and not replace Herb Sendek, who left the Wolfpack for Arizona State earlier this month.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Beilein, who led the Mountaineers on NCAA Tournament runs the past two seasons, said Wednesday that speculation he had accepted another job was "erroneous."
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]They run a good coach out of town simply because he cant beat two of the top programs in the country in Duke and UNC. Now noone will take the gig, even with them offering 3+ mil a year, a salary which dwarfs that of both Coach K and Roy Williams. This is getting worse than the Doherty fiasco Carolina went through. Outside the big two, the old 7 of the ACC are taking a serious slide into basketball oblivion.
