Vanderbilt Commodores head coach Jerry Stackhouse has momentum. After a brutal start to his 2022-23 campaign, his team finished the year on an absolute heater. Vandy ended the pre-NIT season with a 10-2 run that included wins over Tennessee, Mississippi State and Kentucky (twice).
That wasn’t enough to propel the Dores to the NCAA Tournament, but it did boost Stackhouse’s stock in the coaching world. After pushing an undermanned team to new heights and showcasing a knack for play design and clutch moments, he’s once again emerged as a coaching candidate at the highest levels of the sport.
