I don't think it's that unrealistic to shoot for Few. Get Petersen on the phone with him-- that's recruiting 101. They are basically the same person.

Dan Monson?

Is Gil Dobie available?

Whoever it is Brandon Roy wants to work for, duh.

No. They're not. Not even close.Miley_Cyrus said:I don't think it's that unrealistic to shoot for Few. Get Petersen on the phone with him-- that's recruiting 101. They are basically the same person.
Few is not leaving ever. He has contract for life and a perennial top 10-15 program without doing a thing.
He goes fishing all the time, his kids just started high school and he's left alone.
He saw Monson leave and get chewed up. A couple years at 1.5x his current pay isn't worth it.
He's a weird cat. -
Marshall, Miller, Wooden, Calipari, or Shashefski.
Anything else is UNACCEPTABLE. -
Randy Bennett or Musselman are the most Petersen like. Bennett probably going to Cal.dhdawg said:

Prediction: Musselman
Tommy Lloyd isn't ready to step into a P5 as his first head job. He'll have to go elsewhere like a New Mexico or Montana or just keep waiting until Few decides to retire which isn't for another 15 years.
Larry Eustachy is a crazy motherfucker but he wins. Kermit Davis would be another rehab prospect who can get it done. -
My top 3 choices are
1. Greg Popavich
2. Coach K
3. Lute Olsen -
It almost feels like there was a list for this possibility

my fatherone of my dads who went to Gonzaga called me today:
Dad: So I hear the Dawgs got rid of Romar - you guys better not try to steal Few away from us!
My Mother (in the background): Few would be smart to take the job - maybe then he could afford a tie.

I have no idea who to get, but that dude sounds as good as anybody.Petersen3098 said:
But, why would he come here? -
Maybe NBA teams won't want him?Thump said:

No chance I'd want anything to do with Few ... and he's never leaving Gonzaga anyway because he's the kind of guy that likes being a big fish in a small pond.EastCoastDoog said:Take a chance at: Mark Few

More Realistic: Mark Fox, Ben Howland, Leon Rice
Backups: Tommy Lloyd, Eric Musselman, TJ Otz, Brandon Roy
Recommendation: Otz
Prediction: Musselman
Bennett I'm not crazy about here ... he'd almost certainly turn off the Seattle AAU community that you have to have a working relationship with to get the metro area talent. While he does have a decent international pipeline, his teams are only marginally athletically superior for the WCC and I just don't see that Alaska pipeline netting him the kind of players needed to be an upper PAC team. And to be honest, I don't think most of his St. Mary's teams are better than .500 in the PAC.
Marshall ... MAKE HIM SAY NO
Mark Fox ... why would we want to talk a guy who is one more non-NCAA year away from getting fired from Georgia?
Ben Howland's better days are behind him ... that's the kind of uninspired retread hire that a losing program makes.
Leon Rice ... decent backup option ... but honestly not a guy that you eat the entire buyout to go get ... he's not a needle mover or difference maker.
Tommy Lloyd ... I really don't want anybody from the Gonzaga tree
Eric Musselman ... to me, a slightly more upside hire to Leon Rice ... could have more downside ... I'd prefer him to Rice
TJ Otz ... I don't see why we would make the play to go get a guy who has minimal head coaching experience ... I expect he'll be a good coach at some point going forward but it'll probably be in the Big 12 or Big 10
Brandon Roy ... maybe in 10 years
From another thread about Fred Hoiberg ... more likely scenario is that he goes back to Iowa State and we take Steve Prohm from there without paying a buyout ... Prohm is a very good coach and I'd endorse him -
Make Jason Kerr say no!!!!

No Zane Potter?! I'm disgusted in you!
All kidding aside, I wonder if Nate McMillan, would be interested. I mean I don't know if he understands the amount of coffee cups it takes to attract top talent, or is willing to put in the time to recruit. -
It seems the coaches I want are out of reach Miller and marshall. musselman might be alright his team lacks defense but the others seem like they would be slapdick hires. I have a friend who works for gonzaga athletics as a coach of a different sport. He thinks Lloyd would be an amazing hire but seems to be being a homer with that. Lloyd is the in your face quit fucking up coach for them and recruits well internationally.Tequilla said:

I'm not sure Nate's actually a good coach anymore ... I could make an argument that he's stuck between how basketball used to be played and how it's currently played.huskyhooligan said:No Zane Potter?! I'm disgusted in you!
