Not sure why you guys keep mentioning Sean Miller, the guy turned down a gig at arguably the 3rd best ACC program that is right in the heart of one of the most fertile recruiting areas in the country. He could get a top 10 recruiting class every year just locking down DMV/B-More, if he would turn that down there ain't no way in hell he's coming here.

Sean Miller is going to stay at Arizona. It's one of the best gigs, and, as you say aceboon, it's in a fertile recruiting area and, other than UCLA, there is little competition out West.

As for Stevens, he's not likely to coach at UConn. I figured that in a year or two he would go to Indiana. But Tom Crean has turned that ship around. If he wants a top job, where is it going to be? In the midwest, if Crean keeps IU going well, then Michigan, MSU, OSU, and Indiana all have good coaches. UConn is a better option than all of those anyway but IU.

As for other top programs with coaches not hanging around forever: K has to retire at some point, but you gotta figure that's going to stay in-house if possible (Brey?); Boeheim already has his successor in place; UNC will stay in-house; when Calipari goes, that's a possibility. Maybe UCLA fires Howland?

Regardless, if Stevens is going to leave, it is not as if there are, as of right now, a ton of Tier 1 jobs opening up. UConn, sometime in the future, is going to probably the best on the market (if it becomes a market).

The reason it will almost certainly be Ollie is because Calhoun will have a say. He's not going anywhere if he's not going to be able to be a big factor in choosing the next coach. It's clear he's choosing Ollie.

I also think it's huge to keep this within the "Calhoun Tree" so to speak. UConn has no basketball without Calhoun. The national championships the NBA factory success, it all boils down to Calhoun. In order to capitalize on those past accomplishments you need to be able to point back to Calhoun in some fashion. Hence why I believe that Ollie will be the next coach.

Just for kicks if we go out of house the guy at the top of my list would be Frank Martin.
