Fans that follow Old Dominion basketball know the name Anthony Grant.

The VCU coach has been a thorn in the Monarchs side since he came to Richmond three years ago from the University of Florida.

But now he is being wooed back to the Southeastern Conference by the University of Alabama, and it may be an offer Grant just can’t refuse.

An annual salary of 2-million dollars or more, which would be quite a raise from the 800 thousand he’s getting from Virginia Commonwealth.

The Birmingham News is reporting the Alabama job is Grant’s for the taking, but he has to make the decision soon.

If so, he would be the first African-American men’s basketball coach in Alabama history.
