I'm skeptical about Rambis but you never know. I would prefer to get a coach from the college ranks. Rambis has been out of the college game for some time now.

Grier would be an excellent choice. But it is possible that if he is successful, he'll bolt. But then again, once success has been established it could continue.

TH, I like the idea of the Arizona assistant Rodney Tention. He should be able to improve our recruiting in Southern Cali, which is where most basketball talent from Cali is anyways. When you look at AZ, most of the roster comes from SoCal. I don't know if Grier would be able to recruit guys from Washington to come down to SCU to play. So Tention would be a better choice.

Overall, I think it's best to go out of program to look for a new coach. But of course, these points are all moot if DD isn't fired or doesn't step down ("retire"). And please, don't even talk about hiring Seandel. He's heavily involved in recruiting. While the job he's done there is decent, it's definitely starting to fall behind the other schools in the conference.

You and I are completely copacetic on all of this - well said.

I'd rank the preferences like this:

1. Tention
2. Grier
3. Rambis
4. Another young energetic assistant, preferably a proven recruiter, preferably from a major program, preferably with some ties to the WCC.
5. Another assistant with some but not all of those qualities.

165. Davey stays for one more year.

250. Davey stays for two more years.

1,000,000. Seandel.

Here's a link to Rodney Tention's profile.

He sounds like an excellent choice. Like I said earlier, college basketball is now a guard dominated sport. The stronger your backcourt, the more successful you are. And after the snubbing by USF, I'm sure he would love to rub it in their faces with SCU.

Let's cross our fingers that Coonan has some vision.
