RE: Poll - UC's Next Basketball Coach

[dfairchild]

It's still hard to imagine a coach after Huggins, but I would go after Tom
Crean.

One thing that could happen, is that President Zimpher will allow the
Basketball program to operate like all the other
BE programs.  Because we are in the BE, the media won't scrutize the new
coach the way Huggins was.  One of the
benefits of being in one of the elite conferences is that they don't portray
you as a renegade program (see Duke, Michigan, OSU, Minn, KY, etc.).

I support Bob Huggins!

  I believe Yates teamed up with Big George Wilson a few years ago and they
run a golf camp now.

    Not implying that you suggest otherwise, but Yates was really a good
guy...perhaps not a great coach...I didn't play for him so I don't know.  He
was roasted by the media including the play by play announcer of the day
(remember Tim Moreland anyone?), basically because he didn't kiss their rear
ends.  He actually had the program on an upswing when he was given the axe.
I don't believe he's affiliated with Wyler in any way anymore.
