March 29, 200917 yr Positives and negatives as I see them - Billy Donovan - He won 2 straight titles, is young, has been here before and is a solid recruiter. Was the titles a fluke? He has been in the NIT 2 straight years. Is he a good X/O guy? I honestly don't think he is coming. Tom Izzo - Great X/O guy, proven over a number of years at big time program, won a title, can handle the pressure. Can he recruit outside Michigan/Ohio? Is he a long term guy? Style of play? John Calipari - Man simply wins, master recruiter, seems like a solid X/O guy, style of play is exciting. Can he recruit clean/without FedEx? Can he win the big game? Can he win in a BCS conference? Feel free to add to the list.

March 29, 200917 yr Not to turn this into a Tubby thread, but the number one complaint from UK fans was style of play. After he followed Rick any pace was slower. I was saying that is a silly complaint imo.
March 29, 200917 yr If I could pick a coach, I'd pick Jay Wright from Villanova. I love how his guards play and how he plays an uptempo game. Great coach.
March 29, 200917 yr Dixon recruits a bruising style of player. Wouldnt mind seeing a Blair or Fields type player in Blue.
March 29, 200917 yr I was saying that is a silly complaint imo. Its not silly when big time recruits say no to your school because of it.
March 29, 200917 yr Travis Ford will be the next UK coach if Donovan turns it down. That's who Todd wants.
March 29, 200917 yr 1. Calipari 2. Wright 3. Izzo 4. Dixon 5. Anyone but Ford. As much as I would like this, I don't see him leaving Villanova, he has established a nice program down there and I don't see why he would want to leave, and not to mention he has a very nice class coming into Nova next year as well.
March 30, 200917 yr Izzo said today he's going to keep working for MSU. And what would you expect him to say when he's heading to the Final Four?? "I'm going to try to win it all, before I quit & head to Kentucky??"
