I like the idea of Gregg Marshall and bringing in Jerrance Howard with him and keep Jamal Walker. No way that Marshall would come in without his assistants, but maybe one of his assistants gets to keep the Head coach job at Wichita and keeps another assistant as his associate head coach.

With that being said, there are so many left field options that could run parallel with the Lovie hire that I don't want to really venture a guess. With the Bulls alone, there's Skiles, Del Negro, and Hoiberg. Not that I think any of them are remotely likely, but I definitely didn't think Lovie was.

Jerrance Howard will not move again unless HC gig is offered.

Top Five (according to sources in Chicago). Probability based on availability, price, willingness to leave current program, and affinity for the Illinois job compared to other options.

1. Kevin Keatts
2. Archie Miller
3. Tony Bennett
4. Donnie Tindall
5. Gregg Marshall

Including Tyndall eliminates all credibility. No way we hire a coach with his background.

If we're looking to really compete and pay well, I make him one of the top paid assistants in the country. I think his ability to recruit Chicago along with a top notch coach could make us a perennial contender. Not sure if money and his alma mater are enough to get him away from Lawrence, but I sure as hell try. We need someone big to help us win the battles for the Jabari Parker, Jahlil Okafor types.

Someone in another thread mentioned Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Can he coach D1 ?

Whitman better make this short and sweet. The flight headed for Wilmington is leaving in less than an hour :eek:

Keatts won't be named until his team gets knocked out of the Tourney...:)

Anybody else believe him when he says they haven't started reaching out to candidates until today?

No coach would be announced until their team is finished in the NCAAT.

I did not see the presser. Did he announce a search firm?

I hope not, but a couple of posters have alluded to it.

JKAT answered while I was typing, thanks.

He's a lawyer, so I do believe that they haven't started reaching out, but I don't for a second believe they haven't put feelers out through intermediaries/surrogates. So, it's not technically a lie. That's my guess.
