Well I guess it's wait and see time. Here's hoping for the best.

azpatnca

UW just hired a new assistant and so did Dana Altman, so it won't be whoever they hired.

Maybe we offered Few, and this was all a big 4d chess to make Gonzaga fans happy about having Lloyd as their new head coach.

azpatnca

The speculation is just killing me so I'm taking an alternate universe approach to this - Thoughts on who would be worth a try as new coach from this board I choose Chi - he has the most positive reps, would kill it at the presser, can relate and promote the Proud Tradition, hates Pac 12 commission...

azpatnca

Yeah. No brainer. Even in a vacuum. Let's say you're Abilene Christian and you can have either Miller or any of these guys. I'm taking Miller. But if you're Arizona, with the RIAA (I keep blanking on the name of the damn arbitration panel, so I'm just going to use various acronyms from now on) pendi...

If you guys want to do a "Thank You Sean Miller" billboard in Tucson I'd put money towards it. The Alumni Association might be the better group to lead this, but I'm not in touch with them. Likewise, there may be other groups to involve. But we can do it ourselves too. Get a nice classy graphic and ...

I could get behind Damon Stoudamire. I would expect us to do the equivalent of poaching Xavier's coach, like we did last time. Find a coach who took a program to his first sweet16 in the past 3 years and offer him big time money to be in a big time conference. But I guess that ship has sailed. So we...

I know Bobby Robbins; So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are t...

He's not.
Yeah I know, but I can dream can't I??

We could offer Matta and Kerr dual part-time co-coach positions. They both have back issues, so by splitting time they can both be head coach and both get the rest and relaxation they need.

azpatnca

I know this is stating the obvious but the longer this drags on the better chance our core team members look for greener pastures - Tubelis, Kerr, Benn, Koloko, Terry and Akinjo (assuming he's just testing the waters). So let me get this straight: 1) Fire your top 10 coach with a proven track recor...

azpatnca

...so now we can speculate that Arenas and Bramlett (and others) may have stepped in and told Heeke (Robbins) to stop the Lloyd hire. So Arizona was all set to hire Lloyd and then Arenas got involved. Not sure that's better. If you're the AD and you got a guy you like so much that you fire a belove...

Anyone really know what it costs for a billboard? How about "Thank you Sean. We love you." with a pic of Sean and right underneath Fire Robbin's and Heeke his puppet" I'm serious anyone know how you get one, cost and how you get a particular location? https://www.blipbillboards.com/cost/ They let y...

azpatnca

Yeah I'm on board with Murphy as interim for a year. What's the argument against it? The chance to offer someone else's assistant coach with no HC experience? The chance to offer a second rate head coach? Fair question. I think it's just a ranking. 1. Keep Miller and let him try to save his job. Yo...

azpatnca

I said to just keep Murphy for a year on day 1 when I first heard Lloyd was our guy. I was then told how dumb that was and it wasn't an option My hope was that they fired Miller despite telling everyone he was their guy and despite the timing being horrible, because they interviewed someone and was...

azpatnca

Ok, engage panic mode Sigh. I've been trying not to. But here's what will happen. The media will shift from a "UA had to move on from Miller" to a "Arizona is a dumpster fire". Half of the first group will decide that it's all Sean Miller's fault that we're a dumpster fire, and the louder national ...

azpatnca

God this is beyond depressing. Damon- not up to snuff. Pastner- makes up for being a cheater by not being up to snuff. Beilein- ask recruits and their families how his comments that got him fired by the Cavs make them feel. Please no. We fired a coach with a .700 winning record, no Book to cause tr...

Arizona was up big on Illinois in the Elite 8 in '05, and then the UA president got involved. This is the one.

Did he ever specify that those sevun years had to be consecutive?

Also, memory lane and former players as coaches and all that, what's Mustafa up to?!

Or better yet, someone check the rec center for Chris Rogers.

azpatnca

Maybe they're fooling everyone with the Lloyd and Muss rumors and are going to surprise with Chris Holt or someone like that. Ohio State is a football school. You know you want to be at Arizona?

azpatnca

This was the betting line at one point for the Indiana job opening. It's a different school, but it's still a pretty good neighborhood comp, imo. Pastner wasn't considered for Indiana. I know he's a UA alumn, but I don't know if that is enough. I'm okay with his name on the list. I just would expect...

azpatnca

I feel like "and then the UA president got involved" has potential as a euphemism for when the wheels came off of any particular process. I.e., the Falcons jumped out to a 28-3 lead over the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and then the UA president got involved. The Seahawks had the ball and Marshawn L...

Dan Marjle is available?

Maybe Murphy is good.

I will say this- I know RJ has zero coaching experience..... but he would be awesome to have around every day Hire Luke Walton and he hires RJ and Gil as #1 and #2. We might not win, but we'd be relevant and entertaining. I only say Luke as HC because he's got HC experience. For max entertainment m...

The 1 good thing about this coaching situation is that it's bringing the old guard back from the dead!

True. It's more like a funeral than a reunion or a wedding. But it's still good to see the familiar usernames and their personalities once more.

Gilbert Arenas.

Musselman is finalizing a new contract. He says thanks AZ for the letter of recommendation.

azpatnca

I'm at the dealer, actually paying for services I don't (really) need, and it's painless compared to how I'm being fucked as a Wildcat fan. So I'm grateful for the perspective, I suppose.

azpatnca

This is starting to look increasingly like a serious fumble from Heeke and Robbins...they stood by Miller 3 years told boosters and fans "He's our guy" go so far as to impose a post season ban THEY decided on with no real choice for Miller and team...Miller holds the guys together...gets us through...

azpatnca

Brase?! Are you joking?

azpatnca

It's too bad April fool's has past. I'd really like to see the Bobby Hurley, Steve Lavin, Christian Laetner, types of names mentioned.

Maybe we can get Mike Davis. He has experience in a similar shituation.

Read on some Gonzaga sites that people have been saying deals off. Anyone here hear anything about that?

I'll rest easier when Cincinnati announces a hire and it isn't Lloyd/Musselman/JT/Walton/Salpointe's coach or whoever else we're hoping will come to McKale.

azpatnca

I hate to hire a former player at this point because I feel if they aren't as successful as the Lute 2.0 we imagine them to be, we'll run then out of town and ruin their legacy.

I bet they hire a coach from Europe. We get players from overseas, why not coaches? Obradovic, welcome to Tucson!!

I know you were being sarcastic, and I'm clearly being hyperbolic. But there's a titch of truth here.

Pulitzer Prize or a Murrow Award for the journalist who gets an exclusive interview with Sean Miller. It would have to come after he secures his next coaching job. Then he can lay waste to all the bullshit reporting: Schlabach, Vitale, Bilas, Hansen, etc... Just go to town on all the misinformation...
