HOUSTON (AP) – A captivating trip to the Final Four guaranteed this season will go down as perhaps the most memorable in the 42-year history of Virginia Commonwealth University.
The question on the minds of Rams fans in the days and maybe weeks ahead is whether it was a performance that propels coach Shaka Smart to a bigger job after just two years.
After Butler beat VCU 70-62 in a national semifinal Saturday night, the 33-year-old Smart spoke like a man making plans to prove the Rams’ performance wasn’t a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but rather the start of a burgeoning program.
Athletic director Norwood Teague says he will make an aggressive offer to keep Smart.
