PAC 12

[Cheeks]

The dude knows basketball, and while he hasn't played or coached at a high level, his brother in law Craig Robinson was a D1 women's coach for many years (I think Oregon St).

Not sure why one's brother-in-law being good at something means he does, too?  If his brother in law was great at darts, would that make him good at darts?  Just not sure I understand the correlation.

Robinson was the men's coach at Oregon State, and got fired after only one year with a winning record in 6 years.

Probably reason #1 why this would never happen.

That and the fact that it is unlikely ANYONE would make their debut as a coach of any kind as the head coach of UCLA. MU82 has much more experience in the coaching ranks than Barack Obama - doubt he gets the nod either.

I actually am a finalist for the UCLA gig. But I think I blew it in my second interview when I asked them to take Wooden's name off the court and put "MU82" on it.

Oh well, I didn't really want to take the pay cut, anyway.

Would they have a special seat for the Teleprompter?  That would be cool.

I remember a few years ago, when the Big East reorganized, the league was in talks with with the PAC about a Gavitt Games-like scheduling alliance.  Unfortunately, UCLA and Arizona refused to be part of such a matchup, so the talks broke down.  Looks like the league dodged a bullet there.

UCLA might not care...

Dick Vitale said yesterday that Pitino was the ideal candidate for the job.

Dick Vitale is about promoting his friends. I'm sure Robert Montgomery Knight is his second choice.

If I remember correctly, I think he implied that lol

I don't know.  The aww shucks thing doesn't play out here too well.  Why would Buzz want that limelight anyway?  He has it perfect at a football school, in a basketball conference where he isn't top dog, can fly under the radar, the administration will let him do whatever he wants.  Not sure you trade that.  I'd still think he lands at one of the Texas schools at some point if he moves.

He can coach, his teams play an entertaining style, they play hard and he wins.   He would get talent easier at UCLA than Blacksburg and my money is that he would win BIG.   Aw shucks plays well anywhere if you win.   I do think BUZZ would grow restless from the expectations and any perceived slights / lack of love  - but he would kill it for a period of time.   Rumor is that his feelings are getting hurt in Blacksburg now for the same reasons

Dan Guerrero desperately needs a home-run, big-name hire. Regardless of his success at MU and VaTech, Buzz is not that.

I think Luke Walton is the answer.  He's already gotten the dreaded vote of confidence with the Lakers, so I think both sides there would be happy with a mutually beneficial separation.  His NBA connections will lend instant credibility for recruiting - there'll be NBA guys at Pauley constantly, with two NBA teams in town.  He's proven he's a heck of a coach. He's got LA and UCLA roots. He looks like Josh Pastner.

[Spotcheck Billy]

^ I bet broadcasts of UCLA games with Bill Walton calling them wouldn't suck at all.

Luke is a Wildcat. He won't coach UCLA.
