Nice to know that Miles still makes "the list" on the inevitable "name a buncha coaches that our AD will never hire" speculation thread on the Gator forum...

 

 

List of Potential Candidates for HBBC

 

Based on what I've seen or read here and elsewhere, here is a list in no particular order.

  • Greg Marshall - Wichita State (has huge contract and supposedly loves where he is)
  • Archie Miller - Dayton (brother of Sean Miller)
  • Larry Krystkowiak - Utah (has rebuilt Utah, but already has a Power 5 coaching job)
  • John Becker - Vermont (has won 20 games and finished 1st or 2nd in conference all 4 years)
  • Fred Hoiberg - Iowa State (4 straight NCAAs; already has a Power 5 job and is coaching his alma mater)
  • Chris Mack - Xavier (has made NCAAs 5/6 years with 3 Sweet 16s; is coaching his alma mater)
  • Richard Pitino - Minnesota (only former UF assistant on list; won NIT first year, but regressed last season)
  • Michael White - La Tech (finished 1st in conference and won at least 27 games each of last 3 years)
  • Tommy Amaker - Harvard (former player/assistant to Coach K and former HC at Michigan)
  • Jay Wright - Villanova (strong coach, but supposedly happy where he is)
  • Tim Miles - Nebraska (guided NU to a good year two seasons ago, but slipped last year)
  • Tony Bennett - Virginia (has been terrific, but would he leave an ACC program for UF?)
  • Danny Hurley - Rhode Island (has taken Rhode Island from 8 wins to 23 wins)
  • A top assistant coach at a blue blood school (anyone have any names?)
  • Someone on staff (Grant, Pelphrey)
  • Get Billy to change his mind after 4 days

...Hope Texas doesn't get confused.  They likely are looking for a coach that has a resume of getting teams to the NCAA tournament, one that perhaps comes from a major conference, one that can recruit

Maybe he is speaking of Greg McDermott although why he would want to leave the best coaching position in college basketball is beyond me.

For a school that always airs their dirty laundry publicly with a semi-successful television network, you'd think they would have put that chocolate and peanut butter together already.

Iowa State's fan base has had pretensions of being a major basketball powerhouse since the day of Johnny Orr. I would expect them to look for a "name" coach ( and then settle for an "up and comer" once they have been turned down).

Like them or not, but the Clones do have a good reputation in college basketball.  Perhaps not to the level of the Big 12 big brother, JayHawks, but they have been to the dance and have advanced quite often.  The issue they will have in this search is the time of the year.  The Mayor did not do them any favors with his exit timing.

I have heard a name floated while in DSM, but I would only believe it if I actually touch the wound.  I absolutely would be floored if that particular coach would be wanted back at ISU or if he would even consider it as a possiblity.  I guess if the money was right...

That sounds like Eustachy or Floyd.   I agree with you on being floored.

 

I would still keep an eye on Hornacek.

Looks like it's been debunked already, but apparently there are rumors swirling around that Bo Ryan is going to announce his retirement today:

 

 

Fortunately, it appears to be not true.  The B1G is better with him than without.  But still, I figured I'd put this out there.
