Memphis "Candidate Pool" according to Wolken.
Quote:@DanWolken: "Mike White, Ron Hunter or Damon Stoudamire. There’s your candidate pool."
That's what the national media thinks the Memphis job would attract. John martin seems to think guys like Gregg Marshall & Buzz Williams wouldn't come here.
Right or wrong - there ya go...

@geoff_calkins What's overinflated is that there are people who believe firing Pastner will result in Gregg Marshall or Buzz.
Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 7m7 minutes ago
@JohnMartin929 @geoff_calkins Mike White, Ron Hunter or Damon Stoudamire. There’s your candidate pool.
Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 26m26 minutes ago
But I’ll say this to Memphis fans: If/when there is a change, the replacement possibilities will not be what you hope they will be.

I think Buzz listens. This is a better job that VT and I remember hearing it was friction that got him to leave Marquette. Don't see Gregg Marshall or Shaka coming...
I think best case is Archie Miller might listen. Otherwise Wolken might be close. But that is not a terrible list BTW.
Let's hope Pastner figures this out and makes the point moot.

If people other than us goons are talking about a candidate pool, then you can bet there's serious talk.

The hits to my psyche keep on coming tonight. Whatever. Someday there will be another Keith Lee equivalent. I may have to wait a couple decades. (I don't ever expect to see another Penny on my lifetime.) But I will be here when it happens. We will see another final four one day.

RE: Memphis "Candidate Pool" according to Wolken.
I actually like Ron Hunter (and his son) a lot. He's one of those guys I've been referring to - handcuffed by current situation, w]could thrive with a big program behind him. Same goes for Mike White. Neither would be bad hires.
I say no on Stoudemire, even though I like him...can't afford to go that route again. Not at Memphis!
If Buzz, Pearl, Martin all decline (along w the big names like Shaka and Marshall) Wolken could be right. Wouldn't be the end of the world, but what Stammers, myself, and others have been saying would be a reality...no wow hires!

Good point. I still say he sticks around another year or leaves on his own.
I think most folks wanted him to figure it out and be the face of the program for years to come but it's just not there. He got a nice paycheck for 6 years, not too shabby for him no matter what happens.

The little jerk ruined this program. This is going to take a decade to turn this thing around.
