Why be so hung up on Izzo? maybe he won't come, point is there are better coaches out there who would. I personally would not be afraid to ask Pat Riley, Dean Smith, or any big name who everyone assumes will say no. Hearing a no has never bothered me much, but I am different I guess.

I don't care who we get, something or someone needs to change. This team has enough talent to win some games. Tubby just can't get them to gel. Passing the ball back and forth to each other at the top of the key. What is that? I think it was his new offense he is installing. So we could get Mike Davis, Eddie Sutton, Matt Doherty, Steve Lavin, etc. and you wouldn't care? I find that hard to believe, but one thing that is easy to believe is that things could be much worse than what they are right now. I think more than anything even if this season doesn't turn out the way some want it to, I think people will appreciate wins more, much like some UNC, UCLA, and IU fans learned after their recent slumps.

I'm hung up on Izzo because you mentioned his name. Not me. Tom Izzo has no reason to come here. Kentucky offers him nothing that Michigan State doesn't or couldn't offer. It's one thing for you to come here with a cocky tone and say you've got a long list of possible replacements, yet it's another to actually have some potential candidates. The brain must used with some of these choices IMO. Explain to us all why Tom Izzo, Dean Smith, and even Pat Riley would want to come to Kentucky right now? Riley has an NBA contender on his hand right now.

It is not my place to explain why they would come, big guy, it is there place to explain their reasons for coming if they were to accept. Again, you would only ask those who you know are going to say yes. So you can read Izzo's mind? Riley's?

Again, you would only ask those who you know are going to say yes. So you can read Izzo's mind? Riley's? What you're failing to understand it's not about asking people that would say "yes." IF it were we could sign almost anybody for a cheap price at that. You're right, it's not your place to explain the possible benefits they could have in coming here. That's because it's inexplicable. I like Thad Matta, and I think I can explain why I think he'd come here. 1. He's young, so he'd be helping us. 2. He's be asked because of his sucess at Xavier and Butler with 4 straight 24 win seasons and an Elite 8 in 2004. 3. He's shown that he can recruit against all odds. 4. Ohio State to Kentucky would be an upward move, instead of lateral. You see, it's one thing to say Tom Izzo, Dean Smith, Pat Riley, and Adolph Rupp if he were living come be on a short list, but it's another to have logical candidates. A lot of thinking should go into the next coach when it's that time, and I'd hope the AD will weigh the options before he just goes out and gets calls somebody just because he's had some success.

Listen, young fellow, I simply listed a few coaches who I would like to have, or ask to come, and you took off on your Izzo deal, The point seems to be that you do not want to ask any coach who YOU feel wouldn't come.

Why ask Izzo when conventional wisdom would suggest Izzo wouldn't come, as he has already turned down better NBA jobs before. He's already at the pinnacle in college basketball, why would he need to come here. For another final four, for another million dollars? In my line of thinking it's almost common sense to me that Izzo wouldn't come, but some wise person once told me that common sense isn't common anymore.

Mark Few or the guy who used to coach at Morehead and would lay down on the court when a call would go against him he would atleast be fun to watch!

When you try to make complete posts by yourself, with complete sentences and everything, well, lets just say it not a good thing.
