I'm going with Beard!

Interesting  he is younger but he is in the SEC seems buyout isn't to bad either

Also an RMK disciple, which to me is kind of a big deal.

Beard, Brad, Drew and May have gotten over the hump.

Ben or Bucky for me and of course the guy in Boston at the moment.

My Stuhoo-Dennis Gates 

is Grant Mccasland.  That guy is a passionate winner.  Masterclass of an ejection in tonight’s game.  He’s got some fire.

I would take McCasland over Gates. He seems like he might be a decent hire.

Due just to how he's doing this year, I'd take Gates over the other Stuhoo favorite, Shrewsberry. I don't really want either one, though.

MCcasland has the best odds to be the next Oats type guy with the right resources imo.

Depending on what happens with Hubert Davis, Indiana could be in a battle with UNC for the same candidates.

I haven't watched TT and have seen only a bit of UM but comparing his resume to May's, I'd take him over May. He doesn't have the FF run that May has but he has a much longer resume as HC and has done a good job everywhere he's gone with success in other tournaments. CBI and NIT Championships at North Texas, 2 D2 E8 in 2 years, as well as NJCAA runner-up and champion.

I wouldn't be upset if he was hired. I'm still not 100% sold on May.

Nothing against his coaching, but when I see him, I can't unsee Squeek from BASEketball! LOL

I have a feeling he would only leave Lubbock for Austin!

Curious  if you could choose a basketball coach  anyone that is currently alive shall we say ,who would it be and why ?Right now I have no idea who every time I think of someone ,they are either kind of old or have problems or are no good 

 

That’s actually a really hard question. 6 months ago my 1st call, maybe my only call, would have been to Amir Abdur-Rahim. I think that guy would have had a HOF career and the game lost a Guy with his passing. Truthfully, I think there are a million guys with the coaching chops to succeed with the available resources here. That makes the miss with Woodson that much worse. It’s completely about the temperament to operate comfortably in this fishbowl. Example: IMO the 2 best pure coaches in CBB are Randy Bennett and John Becker, and in no universe would either of those guys make an ounce of sense for this gig. If I was Dolson my entire search profile would be tied to temperamental fit. 
Long way of saying, yeah, I don’t know.

If we don’t get a whale he better be way up there on the list.

They moved last year to power 5 conferences so I left them off. They would be Tier 4/5
