Hope not, but then again the guy has only been to one Final Four, a few Sweet 16's, and an Elite 8 (read: zero titles) in 8 years at Wichita State, so it would be a big gamble for them, for sure.

IU would be well served to go after Chris Collins if/when Brad Stevens turns them down.
Stevens, though, might be at the top of a UK list if Cal couldn't resist an NBA job after all.

Somewhere along the way children started raising parents instead of the other way around.
Parents need to take back the leverage. You want to drive and be added to this insurance policy? Ok. Get a job to help pay for the costs and show me your grades to make certain you get a good student discount.

Brad Stevens is not coming back to college basketball. 
My Uber driver has Uber accounts for his kids that they pay for while saving money for their cars. That guy's side hustle is *getting it*.
Hey, why not go after Pat Riley and Bigfoot? Or maybe Jesus Christ and the Pope?
who knows maybe your chosen savior will win?
No sense in getting worked up about specific candidates. Let's do this: what % of confidence do you have in Barnhart/UK making the proverbial "home run hire" when Cal leaves?
I'm at 60-70%.

The UK job is a freaking pressure cooker and I could see plenty of good coaches saying, "Thanks, but no thanks."
Tyler Summit is the name I hear is being tossed around
There is no clear cut home run hire available right now where you know that coach will crush it. That is the truth. Plus, you'll be following a legend which makes it even more difficult.
Maybe our next coach will have to deal with a reality where the one-and-done rule is changed and/or more elite HS recruits head directly to the D-Le... er, Gatorade League (with talk of two-way contracts and potentially higher salaries) or directly to Europe like Brandon Jennings, etc.
Maybe our new coach will be named Bill Dickbiter and he'll have arms for legs and legs for arms.
FOLKS GUESS WHO JUST GOT "THE CALL" TO THE BIG LEAGUES AKA "COACHING PLAYERS WITH PENISES AND VERTICALS BETTER THAN FOUR INCHES" WELL IT'S YOUR OLD BUDDY MATT MITCHELL TAKIN THE HOT SEAT WHO'S READY FOR 4 DANCE ROUTINES AT BIG BLUE MADNESS HAHA HERE'S "9 TO 5" BY DOLLY PARTON IN HONOR OF COACHING UK MEN BEING A FULL TIME JOB REQUIRING 8 HOURS OF WORK AND BIG OL COUNTRY HOOTERS
THE PASSION SCOTTY HAS. I MEAN HE CRIED ON ESPN RADIO ABOUT HIS LOVE OF HIS TEAM IN THE PRESEASON.
PLUS HE LIKES A COLD ONE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT AT SHENANIGANS
I'd definitely rather have Coach Dickbiter and his arm legs and leg arms over Tom Crean.
The scary thing is that with no influence or guidance from the rest of the people at UK, a Tom Crean hire would be right up Meetch's alley.
I bet behind closed doors Stoops and Gran have a beer and chuckle at what a loser Barnhart is .
Davenport probably should have made a jump to a Mid Major D1 school a few yrs ago but he's such a Louisville blowhard he wouldn't know what to do living in another city.
JOHN CLAY HEADLINE IN 2019: "WHAT KIND OF LAST NAME IS DICKBITER ANYWAY?" BEMOANS FAN WHOSE LAST NAME IS 2 THINGS YOU GET AT A CONCESSION STAND
"Folks, fans can't get enough of Coach Dickbiter wildly waiving his leg arms around when he's angry. Don't scuff those shoes, Coach!"
Cal may be here longer than Mitch by a couple of years. In that scenario, that's a doozy decision for a new AD.
I'll never forget that weekend in March of 2009 the day after we canned Hobo. I was in Lexington visiting the lass and out to dinner at Merrick & watching the Sweet 16 games. 2 things:
* Pitino telling everyone that we should hire Travis Ford or Pelphrey with a straight face. Touch you, Rick. He sabotaged the the opening in 07 and was doing his best to do it again in 09 bc he's all about control.
* Pearman calling me hyperventilating about Lorenzo Romar. Not that I blame him.
UL ending up crushing Zona that night looking unbeatable and T Will did the river dance on the sideline.
Two days later they lose to Mich St and that evening word broke that Todd & Barnhart were meeting with Cal in Chicago.
Cal gets hired a few days later and the next weekend the Sypher story broke. Heady times.

He was getting some looks for the Ball State job a few years ago, but he's too much of a LOUISVILLE MAN to leave the friendly confines of Jefferson Co.
I love a lot of things about my alma mater, but that athletic department's camaraderie with UofL is definitely my least favorite. Scotty still worships at the altar of Rick and most people there are pretty content with being their cute little sibling across town. The suckfest every year in our exhibition game with them is nauseating. Our former Prez (RIP) didn't have much respect for the place and all their bullshit, but that attitude didn't really carry over to AD's office.
More Xavier/UC type animosity please and thanks.
"still worships at the altar of Rick and most people there are pretty content with being their cute little sibling across town" seems like an apt description of Louisville in general really
