LOL - I was thinking the same thing!

Ryan Evan of espn1050 reporting that Walker had talk with Whitman and is staying FWIW. That would mean coach has been chosen right? Not getting my hopes up yet.

But finally, the beleaguered Oregon basketball team -- after 37 days and three transfers -- has a head coach.
Kilkenny turned to Altman this week after his name was brought up several times in discussions with other coaches and consultants, Giansante said.
Many of those other coaches, such as Gonzaga's Few, Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon, Butler's Brad Stevens, Missouri's Mike Anderson and others, showed little to no interest in the job.
Still, up until a week ago, sources said, the Ducks were holding out for that "splash," even as Oregon officials downplayed contact with several big-name coaches such as Michigan State's Izzo.
As the search dragged into a second month, three Oregon players -- Drew Wiley, Matt Humphrey and Josh Crittle -- grew tired of waiting and decided to transfer.
Altman has two assistant coaches, Brian Fish and Darian DeVries, who have been with him for 12 years each. Another assistant, Todd Eisner, left earlier this month to become head coach at Benedictine College.
That would figure to leave room for Oregon assistant coach Kenny Payne, the man responsible for most of the Ducks' recruiting and believed to be Oregon's only chance at landing prep phenom Terrence Jones of Portland's Jefferson High School. Jones plans to announce his college decision Friday.
Then Kilkenny narrowed his search to a handful of Midwest coaches including Altman and Dayton's Brian Gregory.

Do you believe in silent verbals?

I feel that it's unlikely any coach as established as Marshall or Bennett would agree to keep Walker around. If true, I think it points to someone like Keatts. Also, the rumor popping up the day after UNC-W was eliminated from the tourney lends some credence.
I think that rumor is older than today, FWIW
And here I am as an Illinois, White Sox, and Bears fan reading "Don't Jump, It will get Better"books.
Everyone read this article. Seriously, click through and read the whole thing.

Let that story guide you
I hear ya, man. Same for me. I had a conversation with my brother-in-law (Badger and Packer fan) at Christmas and I told I haven't watched hardly any games in quite a while. I still follow the results, but watching is just too painful.

I'll bet one beach house and one papa dels pizza on scott drew being the next coach and walker staying.
But at that fork in the road, Oregon chose the right guy. The transfers, the humiliation of getting turned down by every coach in sight, the loss of Kenny Payne and a chance at a program changing recruit, none of that put a dent in Oregon's path to the elite program they are today.
People also forget that coaches like Kruger, Calipari, etc all all had less than impressive NBA stints. It's just a totally different ballgame.
