Dunlap wont say no
Dunlap wont say no
Withey can't go anywhere without transferring and would have to ask for a release. My guess is he'll stick around, mom just seems to be angry because UA didn't call them.
What would the timeline be on pursuing a new coach? Sounds like they want to move quickly. Any chance of snaking away a big time guy before the season starts?

Obviously, I am thinking Cal, but I am not sure if the likes of Wall and Henry follow Cal anywhere.
Anybody have rivals premium? Apparently they're reporting UA has named an interim coach, and it's not who we're expecting, but I don't subscribe so I can't see who it is.
That implies Dunlap did say no? Also says another '09 recruit decommitted but again I can't see who.
I hope it's Geary. When the new staff comes in, Reggie would probably be on that staff. He also has some coaching experience. Also, he might be able to persuade Hill to re-commit.
It's a story by Josh Gerson but I don't subscribe so I guess we have to wait.
The other decommit was Solomon Hill apparently.
Pennell is the interim.
Yeah just saw it on Fox Sports.
Can't go wrong hiring someone named Russ.
They are not going to replace Olson with him, this is merely a stop gap. Unfortunately, it is too late to get a big name now as the season is around the corner.
Oh I know but it does imply that Dunlap turned it down.
Also AZstarnet has a story that has a weird comment about Livengood. It says he denies not having a plan in place and has been working for months on a plan to replace Lute, he even contacted Mike Montgomery about taking over but timing didn't work out.
Now Cal hired Monty April 5th, are they saying they knew before then that Lute was likely enough to retire they were interviewing for his replacement, or are they saying they contacted Monty after Cal hired him and the timing wasn't right because he already had a job?
Edit, the UA scout board is saying Dunlap may have resigned too.
Rumor has it that Dunlap wanted to be named HC, not interim HC and he wanted a gaurantee that he'd be on the list of possible replacements next year.
Dunlap wont say no
Yeah I guess CBS Sportsline reported he wanted a guarantee and didn't get one.
Can't blame UA there he hasn't coached a single game for them yet, giving him a guarantee contract was too risky.
I think UA will get a good coach it'll be interesting to see who. Fans say it won't be Dixon he just got a raise, won't be Calipari he just got a raise, people forget Howland got a raise and extension not long before taking the UCLA job. He wasn't going to turn down his dream job, and I doubt Dixon would turn down a chance to be in the pac 10 he's a West Coast guy. I said before I didn't think he'd take the SC job if Floyd took the LSU job, but I think UA is different.
he and howland have said they never want to play each other again but I don't know that is serious. I'm still more skeptical on Calipari, it would depend on how much money UA can come up with, Fed ex has awfully deep pockets.
You're talking CJ, right? Cause X is coming to KU
ATTN ASU CHRIS - FROM THE CBS SPORTSLINE ARTICLE LISTED ABOVE

You're thinking that Few and Dixon have already turned down multiple opportunities to leave, that they love their jobs and wouldn't mind retiring from their current positions. I acknowledge all of that to be true. But you must understand Arizona is a different animal, one of the top 10 programs in America,
Now no doubt you are going to try and rip into my OK and USC college football references and spelling errors and other bits and pieces to further your argument(in typical ASU fashion ignoring the point and context) but this is ultimately what I was saying and you were denying. And yes I STILL consider Top 10 elite.....
So to get back to your original question....
YES - I THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A BRAND NAME GREAT COACH.....
That is all....back to your regularly scheduled program
