GoLocalProv.com has also learned the identities of the nine candidates where Brown University is focusing its search:

T.J. Sorrentine – Sorrentine is the interim head coach who was a four-year assistant under Jesse Agel. The only question with T.J. is his lack of head coaching experience.

Doug Stewart – A former Brown player, Stewart is the associate head coach at Oregon State under former Brown coach Craig Robinson. While he has no head coaching experience at the Division I level, he did serve as head coach at Casper College in Wyoming at the junior college level.

Mike Martin – Another former Brown player, Martin has served as an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania for the past six years under both Glen Miller and Jerome Allen.

Bob Walsh – The current head coach at Rhode Island College has been in the mix for some Division I openings the past few years. He was a finalist at Manhattan last year. . The only question about Walsh would be his ability to recruit the type of athlete that Ivy League schools recruit, which is unlike the players he has recruited at Rhode Island College.

Tony Newsom – The associate head coach at Fairfield, Newsom coached in the Ivy League at Princeton under Sydney Johnson (whom he went with to Fairfield). He also served as assistant coach at Holy Cross under Ralph Willard. Newsom does not have any head coaching experience at the D-1 level.

Greg Herenda – Herenda is the head coach at UMass-Lowell and has attempted to get his name in the mix at Brown in the past. His Division II River Hawks went 19-11 this past season and his teams have had some success in the Northeast-10 Conference in his four seasons at the helm. . Some view him as a bit of a self-promoter but his results have been solid.

Larry Anderson – The head coach at MIT since 1995, his teams have been a regular participant in the Division III NCAA Tournament the past few years. Ironically, Anderson’s best player the past few seasons has been Brown transfer Noel Hollingsworth, who was recruited to College Hill by Craig Robinson.

Steve Howes – The head coach at Division III Catholic University in Washington, DC, Howes’ team won 19 games this past season, his 8th at the school.

Jay Young – The associate head coach at Stony Brook, . The former head coach at the University of New Haven, Young guided the program to back-to-back Division II NCAA Tournament appearances in 2003 and 2004.
 

Illinois State will interview Vanderbilt assistant Dan Muller and Gonzaga assistant Ray Giacoletti on Thursday, industry sources told CBSSports.

Sources also told CBSSports that Illinois St. assistant Rob Judson and Michigan State assistant Dwayne Stephens are also candidates

how much does a new, unproven d1 coach like those potential morehead state coaches usually make? ive read about some of the few really successful mid major guys ending up making 7 figures, but having like, 450K or so salary before that... but i figure they may have already been making more than guys at littler programs?

TJ Sorrentine...is that the former Vermont player who "HIT THAT ONE FROM THE PARKING LOT" versus Syracuse, the famous Gus Johnson call?

By comparison, the women's coach at Kentucky, Matthew Mitchell, who's never made the Final Four,  signed a contract that probably makes him the highest-paid women's coach in the Southeastern Conference.

The deal, announced Thursday afternoon at a news conference, will pay him a minimum of $7.95 million during the next seven years.
"
Under Mitchell, UK has advanced to two NCAA Tournament Elite Eights in the past three years. This season, the Cats won their first SEC regular-season championship in 30 years.
With all but one starter returning and a roster that will include five McDonald's All-Americans, UK probably will be a top-five program to start next season.
Not about the money
When Mitchell was hired at UK in 2007, he was lured away from Morehead State for an SEC bargain basement price of $150,000 base salary, plus $100,000 in endorsements and other incentives.
Mitchell's new deal calls for him to make $525,000 in base salary next season plus $375,000 in broadcasting and endorsement compensation.
That base salary will increase during the following three seasons, crossing the million-dollar threshold in the 2014-15 season.
Several of Mitchell's incentive bonuses also will rise each season.
If he were to hit all of his incentives (for SEC titles, coaching honors and grade-point averages) and win a national championship next season, he would make nearly $1.3 million including salary and bonuses.
The new deal puts him at not only the top echelon of coaches in the SEC but also in the nation. Before Pat Summitt stepped aside as Tennessee head coach last month, she reportedly was making an SEC-high $1.5 million a year. She now will make $354,375 in her new "coach emeritus" position.
New Lady Vols head coach Holly Warlick's contract is a four-year deal worth $485,000 annually plus incentives.
Reports from 2010 have Connecticut Coach Geno Auriemma raking in $1.6 million a season, making him the highest-paid women's coach in the country.

Mitchell's $7.95 million contract includes a new $250,000 retention bonus if he stays with the university through the end of the deal in 2019.
 

"So, I'd take the $1 million and coach the women"
