ORIGINAL: Dave E Agreed, impossible to be more different than Tubby. Constructive criticism, honesty combined with support? Crazy ideas! I sure hope they can figure out a way to keep him in MN. Just don't see it tho. Some program in a couple of years will throw a pile of money at him. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens. I'm of the belief that more and more in the college basketball world, guys are less likely to jump ship -- it's easier to build a program into a contender than in football, for instance. There are definitely still a half dozen programs or so, though, that command a lot of heft: Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas, arguably a couple more -- but beyond that, I think the draw is not what it used to be, necessarily. Look at a Shaka Smart or the Mayor -- those guys could be coaching UCLA right now if they wanted. But at the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if he made a move. Fingers crossed he likes it here in Minnesota...
