It’s hard for me to see NBA super stars with tons of money and fame putting in the hard hard work of a college coach....takes a special person because of the work necessary to be successful.

FKIM01 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 The UCLA search keeps getting uglier and uglier. I wonder if they've thought of calling Alford yet to see if he'd come back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feathery Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 UCLA needs to hire Bruce Pearl. He is a high energy guy and he coaches a style of play that the fans will love. He should have been the first call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy1987 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 UCLA looking like a bunch of idiots with these offers. But what I'm afraid of is that Billy D. will get canned after OKC loses in the 1st round. UCLA's incompetence could be a blessing if he's available. At this point they may as well wait it out. Hiring a mid major or an up and coming assistant should be the fallback plan. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does (which I think would be a bad move on OKC's part), that's assuming he wants to come back to college vs waiting a year or two for another NBA job to open up.

Zuckerkorn Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 IMO, this horribly botched UCLA search has been interesting (and a bit amusing). This is a school with a rich tradition, in a location that provides large advantages and with no looming sanctions. Despite that, they've struck out with coaches that wouldn't generally be seen as home run hires (excepting the longshot in Calipari). It illustrates just how rarely a team makes an earth shattering hire, but jeez this situation has been a large fail it appears. One would think that with months to conduct a search and have back channel communications they'd have things close to done at the conclusion of the season. Maybe they end up pulling a rabbit out of their hat, but so far it makes me even more happy with the coach we have. PS - Someone might tell them Mike Davis would probably be interested...

Has Nevada hired a coach yet? Alford had his greatest success in that conference with New Mexico. I thought it was a mistake at the time for him to leave there. If I were him, I'd be putting out feelers about that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad B Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 A decent hire, but surprised they could not do better.

His teams don't play a glamorous style, but they're always tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
