This is who I’m calling in order if I’m Mitch
1/2. Jay Wright/Dan Hurley
3. Nate Oats
4. Rick Pitino
5. Scott Drew
I’d be thrilled with any of the top 4. I think Drew isn’t a sexy hire but would do a good job and is a great recruiter. He’d probably be able to field a competitive team as soon as next year and maybe bring Edgecombe with him.
Then it gets a little dicey. Billy Donovan feels unrealistic and the college game has changed significantly since he last coached. I think at that point it would probably be Pearl, Sean Miller, and then even lower would be names like Pope, Tang, Beard.
