What makes you think they would leave their jobs for Louisville. Shaka turned down UCLA. Donovan turned down the Orlando Magic. Keep living in la la land though.

UCLA is on the West Coast...Shaka is an East Coast guy and the opportunity to Coach in the ACC and to coach as Forbes Magazine has said the most Valuable College Basketball Program in the Country...no College Basketball Program generates the $$$ like Louisville...UCLA due to California laws really has to be very creative to pay their coaches...we don't have those restrictions...both Rick Pitino and Charlie Strong are going to make around or over $4 Million this year.

Remember, we are the school that got Rick Pitino...in case you forgot when Pitino left the Celtics there is/was no hotter and no more established name in College Basketball...also, you forget the relationship that Donavan and Pitino have...plus I didn't say we would get him but you make the call to see if any interest...

You are better off getting Scott Drew or Lenard Hamilton.

Sorry...got Denny Crum-(Hall of Famer)....got Rick Pitino-(Hall of Famer and already a National Championship Coach before coming to Louisville)....our history in attracting high profile coaches says otherwise....
