Of the names being thrown around, he's pretty low on the list of those I want. So I agree that he would be disappointing.
He's very old so only a short term solution. System coach who has taken several years at each stop to have consistently good teams. He's not coaching now and that likely won't change between now and the end of the NCAAT when other coaches will be available, so no reason to rush hiring him. Then there's his comments at Cleveland which may affect recruiting.
There's at least 5 others I'd want before him.
