I don't think UK waits even that long. Plus I'm not sold that he's the answer. Could be, but I just don't think UK is a job he has interest in.

Dan Hurley, absolutely! Jay Wright, got to make him say no. Brad Stevens would be awesome, but he's got a cushy front office job. I don't think he'd consider it. Are we willing to wait 3 or 4 weeks to see if Billy is interested. Why Buzz? He has averaged 12 losses per year at A&M and has 1 NCAA victory while there.

Donovan has had two chances at this job and has never hinted that he was interested either time. With his name on the Florida Court, I just don't think UK will ever be an option for him. UK fans would lose their minds if Mitch waited a month to try to hire Donovan, after the NBA season.

It will be interesting who, if any of these assistants he hires at Arkansas.

I think he'll be north of 10 million with about 4 to 5 million for recruiting.

I don't think Wright will come out of retirement, but I do really like him.

I may have pulled that trigger too quickly. I know for a couple of years he's been a hot name, but like Shaka Smart he's only had one great postseason run. I'll scratch Drew, I'd didn't think it through.

Billy Donovan isn't walking through that door.

That's not the world we live in now.

Hopefully Barnhart is on the phone tonight setting up interviews over the next two or three days. Absolutely need a coach named this week. New coach will have 10 spots or more needing to be filled ASAP.

Do ANY of the players stay now? My guess is maybe a couple stay. Cal taking recruits with him? I expect all but Travis Perry to reopen their recruitment.

Order of calls if I'm the AD. Jay Wright, got to swing for the fences at least once. Drew at Baylor Then...maybe Oats at Bama

Started a thread just for the coaching search.

Thought the coaching search needed a fresh thread.

I hate to see it. I'm not excusing anything but I guess I look at things differently and Cal has been a huge Net Gain for the program over his time here.

I'm not sure he'd come at this point.

He clearly states in a follow up that this is just a rumor that he's hearing and he's not reporting as fact.

There is a lot more money in NW Arkansas than in Kentucky. Arkansas is one of a handful of schools that could give Cal a pay raise.

That size advantage was the story of the game.

SC dominating on the boards this half and playing much more deliberate. Iowa going to need to get hot to have a chance.

SC starts quarter with a quick 7-0 run to tie it up and Iowa answers with a quick 3. Great game so far!

SC size advantage inside is hard to ignore, just looking at the players on the court.
