It's an AWESOME day to be a Wildcat! First, Arizona hires Xavier's Sean Miller as its head coach. Woo! Then former UA player/coach/all-everything Josh Pastner is named head coach at Memphis, replacing the departed John Calipari. It’s not a great day to be a Wildcat.

I'm not sure if he's a good fit for Tucson, but a great talent. Arizona is now going after Xavier’s Sean Miller. I’m not sure if he’s a good fit for Tucson, but a great talent.

Not sure what it means that the PC is in LA. I guess it could either way, he's either staying at USC, or he didn't want to hop on a plane back to Tucson to be introduced as the new coach. I just can't imagine he'd announce he's taking the UA position in LA and not Tucson with Livengood. Again, just pure speculation on my part. The link to the PC story is below. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/287152.php Tim Floyd has apparently called a press conference in LA at 3pm PDT/MST.

I enjoyed Russ Pennell way to much. Reminded me of a young Lute Olson. He actually cared about his players. Tim has done great things for USC, so maybe I am being too hard on him! GO Cats Tim Floyd, are you serious? I enjoyed Russ Pennell way to much. Reminded me of a young Lute Olson. He actually cared about his players.

My boss is going to love me. I wonder how far down the list Tim Floyd is/was when the coaching search first started, or if he was even on the list 6 months ago. I realize a lot of big name coaches have it made and there's no real reason to jump to another school, even if it is to traditional bball power UA, but Calipari just did it so it's possible. Granted Kentucky has greater appeal historically and most of the big name coaches don't need greater appeal, a better team, or a stronger conference, etc. It just doesn't make sense to me that Tim Floyd would "win the press conference" as UA AD Jim Livengood put it a few days ago. That wasn't a smart quote on his part and I bet you he's wishing he hadn't said it. With UA's bball history and tradition, I doubt the fans will be patient enough like with the football team and Stoops hiring and turnaround. Crossing my fingers, if Floyd IS the next coach of UA, that he's a great coach, I think everyone hopes for a great coach ultimately no matter who it ends up being, but right now I'm not on the Tim Floyd bandwagon. Just my honest opinion. I’m supposed to be swamped at work, but yet I find myself checking all the sports news sites every 30 minutes or so. My boss is going to love me.

It looks like Tim Floyd (Current USC coach that brought the Trojans to 3 straight NCAA appearances). I was really hoping for Mark Few. I thought he was ready to move to Tucson about 4 years ago when Lute's health concearns was being discussed. Others we heard: Tubby Smith, Lon Kruger, Mark Fox, Reggie Theus. Yep.

What about WSU? I am more concerned with what is going to happen to the vacancy at Washington State University. Rumor has it that Terry Porter may have been on campus yesterday. Sick. Anything that can combine Trailblazer alum with the cougs, I am all for that. UofA? What about WSU? I am more concerned with what is going to happen to the vacancy at Washington State University.
