OT: UCLA narrowing in on Dixon and Cronin

That is so underwhelming if I'm a UCLA fan. Dixon and Cronin do not move the needle very much from Steve Alford.

Why not shoot a bit bigger? Luke Walton is a good mention. Kelvin Sampson? Chris Beard?
Take a risk, go for Rick Pitino. As slimy as he is, he's a great coach.
Unless I'm missing something, I would think UCLA would be an great draw for any coach.
 
Any coaching position that pays over 2 million a year is not overrated. IMO

You're not wrong, but that's about the going rate these days for an average program.
 
I heard the AD considered him, but higher ups eventually passed.
If we were unable to get Hurley, I would have loved to go after Pitino. I know that's probably an unpopular opinion on here. Maybe that's selling my soul to the devil a bit too much. But it would have been our best chance at staying relevant, perhaps.

This is assuming that Tom Crean caliber was truly our next best option.

I think Frank Martin was plan B

Can you imagine the Connecticut NIMBY's if Pitino was hired? lmao was a crap show that would have been. A truly untenable hire.
 
Shaka is only moving if someone wants to pay that buyout. And nobody is doing that.
 
Don't be surprised if Cronin does leave Cincy, but not for a Cali job.
If Virginia Tech finds themselves Buzzless, a Cronin and Babcock reunion would be very logical.
Unless Mick likes money... then he should go west!

Nick Van Exel doesn't have the experience to jump to a high major job, I can't see that possibly happening.
He's definitely not gonna be the leading candidate. I think that has to be Brannen but Van Exel has expressed interest in college coaching and likely will be considered. Whether that's right or wrong idk...leaning towards wrong.

I mean Vandy just hired Stackhouse lmao. Crazy things are happening rn.
 
His buyout is over $10m. Got the feeling that Texas would've fired him if it wasn't so much.

If Texas wants Shaka Smarrt to leave, and Shaka Smart wants Shaka Smart to leave, I suspect they can come up with a deal on his buyout.
