@CecilHurt: For all the buzz, I haven't heard anyone official at Alabama mention Tom Crean.
@SethDavisHoops: FWIW I spoke w someone close to Tom Crean. Says there's zero truth to rumor he is pursuing Alabama vacancy. Bama has not reached out either.
I believe both of those. Crean's name is either a smokescreen or the same rumor just started snowballing around Bama fans. During coaching searches, you have a lot of people who want to play insider so they'll try to ride the safest wave they think can earn them that status.

Who will be this coaching search's Rita Rodriguez?

Yeah, I wouldn't count on either side admitting to it, but I also doubt the validity of the rumors. Was surprised my cousin told me he first heard it all the way back in December, when Alabama was playing well and flirting with the top 25.

@YahooForde: Y sources: rumor of Tom Crean leaving Indiana for Alabama not true. That's all on that.

Good
When do yall think this hire is gonna go down? I think the sooner the better, though I suppose we can't hire a coach who is still in the tourny.

Assuming our next coach isn't coaching past this weekend, I imagine it would be either late next week or the week after.

My sources tell me it's Archie Miller.

And who are your sources?
Posted on 3/18/15 at 6:34 pm to Chadaristic
Not gonna disclose them.
Posted on 3/18/15 at 6:59 pm to RollTide4Ever
My sources say that the coach is way better than Anthony Grant

my sources tell me that our interim is way better than AG

Let's hope Dayton loses tonight so that we can get this over with.

You don't have any sources
But it does look like you may get your wish of Dayton losing tonight.

@RyanBrownWJOX: Take this however you wish: Had a former SEC head coach tell me the rumor in coaching circles is Alabama will offer Gregg Marshall $3.5M.

Too much for marshall. Miller is real deal.

Why the hell does Pearson's name keep coming up? Better yet, Stansbury's? If we give it to Pearson, we might as well give it to Pettway. I'd at least feel good about giving the kid a break.
Hell will freeze over before Rick Stansbury is hired in Tuscaloosa.
If Battle is really shooting for the moon, I believe the story about offering Marshall $3.5 million. But he will turn us down. I would offer that to Shaka Smart next. I wonder what he would do? After that, I don't know who would fit the bill as a home run hire. I still like Miller and Jacobson but neither would be considered a home run. The suspense is killing me. I still think Crean is a player in this regardless of what the pundits are saying. What are they going to say, "Yeah, he's leaving just as soon as he loses in the tourney. ". That would work well wouldn't it??

Bama can't have a homerun hire in bball. MAybe one day but not today. We have to take an educated risk. Miami football did that in the 80s and so did Tulsa in basketball.
