Engineer a trade with Iowa St to let them take Hoiberg back in exchange for getting Steve ProhmCokeGreaterThanPepsi said:I'm really sold strong on Eric Musselman of the likely candidates, unless there is an out of the blue big time hire (Hoiberg or something like that).

People have said that Hoiberg does not like recruiting, so it is unlikely that he'll come.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:I'm really sold strong on Eric Musselman of the likely candidates, unless there is an out of the blue big time hire (Hoiberg or something like that).

I don't follow closely enough to know but it is the best business decision. Hungry is better than a Crean guy that will be bitter and already failedPetersen3098 said:
Who would be a young and hungry guy? Richard Pitino?RaceBannon said:Hire young and hungry at 2 million and they will think its awesome. If they are good they get a raise. If not gone, no warning, just gone.

True, we can either get a proven mediocre coach like Crean, or we can take a chance with a hungry not proven coach.RaceBannon said:

If they land him make sure not to get too attached. Dude makes Larry Brown look like the model of stability. Following his first coaching gig he's coached at 14 different places and never stayed longer than 2 years.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:I'm really sold strong on Eric Musselman of the likely candidates, unless there is an out of the blue big time hire (Hoiberg or something like that).

Indiana will target AlfordPetersen3098 said:So this pretty much rules out Gregg Marshall. FWIW, Kevin O neill also ranks us fourth, behind Indiana, NCSU and Illinois, in front of Louisiana state and Cal.
What do you guys think? The salary makes sense considering we are not a big basketball school, but it's hard to believe that we can get a good coach with that amount of money.
What we should hope for is that Indiana and Illinois both pry away power 5 coaches that currently have a job, so that we have more mid major coaches to choose from.
NC State has been on Archie Miller
Illinois is as much of a dumpster fire as the UW job at this point ...
LSU is terrible ... they'll make a bad hire
Cal will go after Randy Bennett
Assuming Alford takes the Indiana job, who UCLA goes after will be interesting on a couple of levels. First, how big of a contract do they throw out there and if a huge one what does that do to their ability to move on from. Similar to how Pete wasn't a good fit at USC, I'm not sure Marshall is a great fit for UCLA. He's an energy, defensive minded coach with a focus on team accomplishment over the individual and UCLA likes offense and loves promoting its stars.
IF Marshall was listening, I think it's more likely that he'd be interested in Washington ahead of Illinois. UCLA is UCLA ... so that would obviously be a huge issue to dodge ... probably best to then hope that Marshall is out first weekend before UCLA is eliminated and anything with Alford is decided. -
Romar to UCLA?

I don't think Marshall will take a pay cut to come to Washington.

he won't, that's why he's ruled outCokeGreaterThanPepsi said:I don't think Marshall will take a pay cut to come to Washington.
