Still nothing. Well, I’m not waiting. There are some good games to watch. I’ve restocked on beer. Got some munchies.
I guess weather had no role in his decision thankfully. It’s in the 80s in Phoenix and sunny. Like in Pittsburgh, Cleveland is in the low 30s and it is snowing. Got to love late March. I’m ready to leave.
Here’s the report from Arizona.
UCLA coach Ben Howland, Dixon’s old boss at Pitt and Northern Arizona University, had told current and former coaches that Dixon was using interest from ASU and Missouri as leverage to get a better deal from the Panthers.
ASU athletic director Lisa Love had begun to look at alternate candidates by late Friday. According to an ASU official, she was on “the West Coast” Saturday conducting an interview. Randy Bennett of Saint Mary’s College in the San Francisco Bay Area has been mentioned as a candidate on ASU’s short list. Bennett has longtime links to the Valley.
Former Utah coach Rick Majerus has told officials, both in college basketball and within ASU’s athletic department, that he is interested in the job. Memphis Grizzlies assistant Lionel Hollins, a former Sun Devil All-American, spoke to Love at a Pac-10 luncheon on March 11 in Los Angeles. The Grizzlies were idle Saturday and are at home Sunday against Charlotte.
Mark Turgeon of Wichita State also has been mentioned as a leading candidate. George Mason eliminated Wichita State from the NCAA Tournament Friday night in Washington, D.C.
Some rather bitter comments to the article at the bottom. We can laugh… now.
