Texas assistant basketball coach Russell Springmann had a preliminary interview Saturday in Austin with Virginia Commonwealth University regarding its head-coaching vacancy.
A source with knowledge of the situation says Springmann, who's known as an excellent recruiter, is one of about five candidates the school is interested in.
Anthony Grant left VCU last week for the head-coaching job at Alabama.
Springmann is in his eighth season at Texas, and the Maryland native was credited with helping the school land former All-American Kevin Durant, who played his senior high school season at Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Md.
