The next coach needs to answer the following questions for the fan base to be satisfied.
- In the last 10 years what is their post season like? How many Elite 8,s Final 4's or titles have they won?
- Could they recruit one to three 5* players and good 4* players that would compliment a good roster
- Would the 5* players stay for 2+ years?
- Does he play a modern offense?
- Does he actually make in game adjustments? (Will play a zone or 1-3-1 if necessary)
- Is the Coach trending upward?
- Does he have the personality to handle the BBN in a respectful way and the pressure?
- Would this coach excite 75% of the fan base?
- Does the Coach care about the tradition of UK and winning for UK?
Whoever can answer all of those questions should be the next coach.
The sad part is, not one name comes off the top of my head. I think there is a vast pool of coaches we could get. But none really stand out. I know the top echelon is Jay Wright, Brad Stevens and Billy Donovon. It's sad that UK is so low none of them would consider it.
