Meanwhile ku the scummiest of programs (up there with LSU) gives self a lifetime contract amidst ncaa investigation. I wish all bad things on ku.

When this all started, Miller had Arizona winning conference (or getting close) every year. Over the past three years, they haven't finished higher than 5th. I think this is more performance-based than ethics-based. If he was winning at Self's level, I don't think he'd be looking for a new job. The NCAA is too impotent to scare any of the blue-bloods.

You're exactly right....he wasn't winning at a level he needed to be. Zona has a rich history of basketball over the last 30+ years and it appears "middle of the pack" finishes will get you fired there.

Kelvin Sampson to Arizona. He always wanted to go there.

This guy agrees with you (at least he has Sampson as one of five likely candidates):

Sampson looks to me the best choice of the 5. Lloyd's head coaching ability is an unknown but is Gonzaga's ace recruiter.

I don't think Sampson is leaving UH.

Beilein would be a decent option for them from that list.

National people throwing out Kelvins name just because he is now popular from a FF run just don’t understand the facts.

Much like his name being brought up by fans in our search wanting him back, need to look no further than his contract. He will make about $3.3MM this coming year, but even more of an indicator he isn’t going anywhere is his current $12MM buyout.

Wish they would take Scott Drew and keep the four-decade line of sleaze unbroken.
