NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt has hired Mark Byington away from James Madison just three days after he led the Dukes to a first-round upset of Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament. School officials at Vanderbilt announced the hire Monday afternoon. Byington will be officially introduced at a Thursday afternoon news conference at Vanderbilt's Memorial Gym. The 47-year-old Byington replaces Jerry Stackhouse. Vanderbilt fired Stackhouse after he went 70-92 in five seasons. James Madison went 32-4 this season and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1983 before falling to Duke 93-55.
