True; but the biggest challenge for McCollum would not be on court coaching, or recruiting; it would be managing and being the face of a massive, high profile operation. He has zero experience with that. And a year at Drake with many of his carried-in players is very different.

So what do we have to give up to get Stevens?

By the way—Jerrod Calhoun is younger, gives you all the unusual overperfomance winning (holy crap-he turned around Youngstown State), plays a modern offense style, and is also from the Midwest. And he played D1 ball and has had tons of mentoring and coaching in D1, including at the P5 level.

Why people get fired up about McCollum and not Calhoun is beyond me.

If we’re talking about Mountain West coaches, what about Little Pitino who just rolled Calhoun in his own gym last night? New Mexico on fire this year and made the tournament last year.

I think he would have a hard time convincing 4 and 5 star players to play in his system as it stands.

Speaking of "few"...

I saw his name mention related to UNC and that possible opening... is Few really in play? For a while now, he's been pretty much happy at Gonzaga... and he's in his early 60s... curious...

One game doesn’t make or break a coach, but that’s a hell of a good point!

Rick Pitino Jr. has done doing extremely well at New Mexico in a solid conference, he’s been mentored by the best, and he took his lumps and learned at Minnesota in the B1G (and had three 20 win seasons there). 

I have no reason to believe he’s being considered, but I’d get behind him in a heartbeat, and more so than McCollum.

I was texting a friend about some stuff at work earlier today and he responded “that’s BS”.

I do like Calhoun, but there are better options higher on the list...

He’s another Alford.  Good in a smaller conference but not so much when he’s playing with the big boys.
