Assistant coaches don't use UCLA for leverage, his agent would be laughed out of the room.
Lets say UCLA is a top 20 job (very conservative). I cant remember last time such a team went after an assistant from another school.
Please stop with the Jay Wright BS.Shaka, Brad Stevens, Jay Wright? A couple of the names in the article.
An early predictions?
I think Romar will finish his life's work at UW. He is quite well liked and respected here!Lorenzo Romar will be a NC State-Mark Gottfried type hire for UCLA after they strike out. They will go after the big fish Shaka Smart, Brad Stevens and will likely get dened. UCLA won't hire an assistant coach, and Romar coached at UCLA under Jim Harrick before taking the Washington job and is a UCLA guy. I would make Mark Few a Godfather offer, but he won't leave Gonzaga for UCLA for numerous reasons. 1. No expectations at Gonzaga compared to UCLA 2. UCLA is an Adidas school and Few is a Nike guy and Oregon alum who is tight with Phil Knight. However, if I was UCLA I go to Mark Few and tell him to name the terms.
Totally agree. Should start and end with those two. I suppose Stevens could be involved, too.Sean Miller
Shaka Smart
top two for that job
If Hop heads to the West Coast its a one way ticket. No way he comes back if he is HC at USC or UCLA.I think this is the job Hop should go after. I also think it would be good for Hop to get some HC experience before JB retires.
