Tulsa fans,

Are there any names out there for who will be replacing Dave Leitao on Haith's staff?

This maybe a small issue, but Leitao used to be the HC at DePaul, but he left for Virginia. So DePaul just decided to rehire him.

He was also an assistant under Calhoun for about 15 years.

He didn't do so well at UVA, and has been with Haith on his Mizzou and Tulsa staffs.

It'll be interesting to see which way Tulsa goes with that hire, and what connections (or recruits) they may bring.

Early speculation is Tim Fuller. He recently left Kim Anderson's Mizzou staff. He was on Haith's staff at Mizzou, but was a candidate to replace Haith at Mizzou, so he did not follow Haith to Tulsa. A nice raise from Mizzou also helped keep Fuller at Mizzou another season.

Prior to joining Haith at Mizzou, Fuller was on Pitino's staff at Louisville.

The Fuller/Haith relationship goes back to 1996-2000, when Haith was an Asst. and Fuller was a player for Dave Odom at Wake Forest.

I don't think we'd have many complaints if it's Fuller.
