I guess I could live with Crean if he turned around the program
Go read the PEEGS Indiana hoops message boards about CTC. You want to trade ACAG for this guy??
No, I don't want to. I have better names on my wish list. But there's a lot of smoke pointing to this happening. We could do worse I suppose. I just want to resurrect this basketball program to the level it was on when Wimp patrolled the sidelines with his scowl and his hideous plaid sports coats, then I'd like to go beyond that. I watched many a game at Coleman when it was the Plaid Palace and I enjoyed every minute of it. Now it's like going to the hospital and sitting with a relative on life support.

Crean wouldn't be my first choice but I don't think it would be a bad hire either since the program under Grant has usually only been about one player away from the level that would be enough for most fans: getting a NCAA bid most seasons and being excited about a legit Top25 team every few seasons.
Like I've said before, I don't think they will go the mid-major "good but short" resume route again unless they miss on a few preferred choices.
On Anthony Grant: he was not nearly as bad of a coach as frustrated fans rant about it. His rosters were usually NCAA bubble to NIT type talent overall and that's how they usually performed. His big shortcoming was that he missed on recruiting the extra difference maker (particularly at the most needed positions) every single year. No rational fan criticizing him thinks he should have recruited like Kentucky or Arizona but simply that he didn't recruit to the level of every coach at Alabama since the 1970s.

I do NOT want Howland. I'm tired of having a basketball coach the has to have a top 10 defense to win. I want a guy that will recruit shooters, have an offense that runs the floor and is exciting to watch. If we aren't going to win every game, we should at least have a team thats fun to watch. I'm done with these 45-42 games.

Alabama will never get the players out of Memphis. Most of the good ones go to U of Memphis and a few go to either Ole Miss or Arkansas.

If you want a shooter oriented coach then you guys should try and poach Rick Byrd from Belmont. All he does is recruit shooters and make the dance every year.

I'm hoping the next bball coach has ties to Midwest talent and dc, that's where the big dogs are. Hell, the diamonds are good as well. Forget Memphis.
Grant inherited a solid vcu, while Archie rebuilt Dayton. This Dayton team has no player over six foot, six inches. Archie is the next big shot, he's Brad Stevens before the national title runs.
