Hmmm, maybe that's why Martin took an extension at Cal.
I post as well but I have found him/her to be fairly accurate. Not 100% or maybe 80% but someone I believe they have a decent source that may be somewhat in the know or at least close to the inner circle of the dealings that go on in this type of thing. Donor????

Whitman keeps things close to the vest... and his inner circle is very tight. No way this is true.
153 doesn't really classify as highly rated when you're talking about P5 schools, but would be interesting to see if/what changes occur to the recruiting class if Cuonzo was the hire.
That ship has sailed
Not disagreeing with you. Just sharing another's input. No more, no less.
It's pretty amazing not a word of the Lovie plan got out. I'm sure having his son as an agent was not an insignificant part of it.
My god, I'd love to have him coach here.. Press conferences would be SOOOOO much different than Groce... in a good way.
Lord Van Gundy uses hypnosis and telepathy as primary recruiting tools. He will sign players 1-10 every year. In his laboratory, he will clone Patrick Ewing to play center. Then, he'll hire the original Patrick Ewing to mentor the clone. Finally, he'll hire Rick "Patrick Ewing" Brunson as video coordinator. When the Ewing circle is complete, we will achieve our destiny and win the elusive NCAA title.

I'm not saying this is the case, but think about the scenarios between basketball and football. Whitman might benefit from a leak in this case.
That is the best picture
I thought of Monty as a potential coach as early last summer, he carries himself very well, former NBA player and coach. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with that idea since others have posted it. I think he needs the right situation to fulfill the family requirements due to the recent tragic event.
I do think Whitman will request Colagelo greatly assist in the hiring. I believe it will be an impact hire with potential NBA ties, but not a NBA journeyman coach. I still think Cuanzo Martin is a favorite, but I'm buying into the theory that a coach has been contacted and moves are being made(such as retaining Walker). Considering Martin is employed I can't see that happening.
So bottom line I don't see a up and coming mid-major.

The LVG thread leading up to the Weber hiring were some of the funniest things I've ever read anywhere!
I'm starting to become excited for a possible Monty Williams hire. I read some glowing comments made in the past by guys like Durant and Zach Randolph. I think some star support, and his connections to USA basketball could really help pull in a great first class.

44 years old, respectable record as NBA HC. Terrible personal story with his wife. If he's ready to get back to coaching and wants to take a shot at college, I'd be excited for him.
His wife's parents live in the "Alamo" city and basically take care of the 5 children.
I was unfamiliar with the story of his wife and looked it up. Wow, such tragic story. I can't imagine the pain he and his family are experiencing. Hoping he and his family have found some semblance of peace.
Just as a point of reference the airport code is OAK.
SFO is only a bridge away too. Lots of flights from ORD/SFO...
Former Ohio State coach Randy Ayers was Monty's assistant with the Pelicans, that would fit for the former Power Five head coach as an assistant.
