A great choice, but I doubt he wants to leave his current gig.

[Baltimore Hoosier]

Not a realistic option IMO. 

[IU Hoosier41]

Surprised not much more chatter here.  people not want him?  Or don't think he'd leave Arizona?

[Dalton26]

I don't see him leaving Arizona.

I'd take him over anyone not named Brad Stevens

[Ryno6284]

NOPE!

[Demo]

Good coach. Worth a phone call, but that's all it would be. He's got a great job and he's built a long-term program. Not going anywhere.

Won't come but I would take him in a heartbeat --proven coach and consistent winner and great recruiter

He sure had his team ready to play tonight.  100pts.

[Bowhunter]

This is who we should have hired the first time around

The guy has a rep for operating somewhere between spontaneous and...impulsive.

I wouldn't count it out.

Didn't he turn us down before we hired CTC? Can't imagine him wanting to come here now.

Totally different situation now. You can thank Tom Crean for that

[Stuhoo]

Great coach. Great recruiter.

Approved

I would be a very happy hoosier.

I'd take him but I just don't see him leaving Arizona. Maybe less pressure there?

Thank crean for making it easier to step into the job bc it was a crap storm from Sampson?

Hard to say what all would factor in but his family is from about as far west in PA as you can get with his brother sandwiched in the middle of there and Bloomington.

 

[716e11th]

Pretty good run at Arizona so far

[hoosierpap]

Also, I'm not making some cryptic predictive statements. Sean Miller is prepping a scouting report right now for tomorrow. I doubt he's thinking much about it.
