With the Xavier job opening up because of Miller's departure to Arizona, what are the chances BCG ends up at X?

Washington State is taking a good, hard look at Gillispie, per ESPN.

I thought Miller turned Arizona down, am I mistaken?

He did at first. Then Arizona made another offer today that he just couldn't refuse.

I'm going to go somewhere around 0% to 1%...

 

And wait, I just got an update.

 

1% has just stepped out of the building.

 

Gillispie will not go to Xavier.

and you know this how?

I will say this:

 

Xavier will most likely hire either the lead assistant or Brad Stevens from Butler.

 

Do I know as fact? No. I'm asking people around there now what looks likely.

 

Personal opinion on Gillispie matter.

I hope he doesn't. I'd hate to see Xavier regress.

True. :thumb:

I agree. He already took my favorite team to the NIT, I dont want to see him do that to my second favorite team either.

I don't see this happening. He could but I just don't see this.

Are we going to speculate Billy G going to any school when a vacancy pops up?

I doubt very seriously that BCG will be hired by Xavier.

Chris Mack or John Groce at Ohio U seem the most likely candidates. Also wonder if they would look at Pat Kelsey at Wake. I'd have Stevens on top of my list, but X likes to hire guys with X in their background...

#1- I think BCG tries for a more "high profile" job. If one does not come his way this year, then he waits for later. (He can afford to.)

 

#2- I also think it is starting to look like someone has to speculate on here every time there is a new opening, regardless of the area it is in, that it is a BCG possibility. We know he is not hard up for money, so some of the openings are not jobs he will take. He just left one of the most high-profile jobs in all of sports, so look for him to try to finsd something more toward that level, IMO.
