I could see that.  I bet he'd do great there.
He always used to kill our zone, and he won even more games at Pitt than the really good Ben Howland teams.  He never could get over the hump in the NCAA tournament, but as much as we want to forget those days, in the 1990s, Pitt and UConn carried the Big East and battled for the title every year.  Howland and then Dixon built and maintained a very good program.

EDIT:  I read the thread above and see how critical people are of this hire, saying UCLA fans are unrealistic  I think you're forgetting how down the PAC-12 is right now.  Hop's teams haven't been that great and he's been Coach of the Year back-to-back years, and just won that league by 3 games.

Arizona is in a world of hurt right now.  Bobby Hurley isn't "all that" at Arizona State after all.  USC is kind of a mess right now.  Somebody who is established and experienced running a program might be just what they need.  Stability, great defense, commitment to winning.
