Head Coach Candidates

Will Wade should be the top choice. If not for a FBI wiretap he still would be at LSU, and even on the wiretap all they got him was he made a strong *** over and talking numbers which is all legal now.

As for how it ended at LSU a lot of that had to do with the changing of the AD, the previous AD and administration were playing hard ball with the NCAA but when that AD was canned for new guy, Wade was basically sacrificed for the football team (Odell giving out 100’s after the ‘19 NC, the Hospital foundation executive stealing $$ to give to recruits etc).

Bill Self had more NCAA charges against him but Kansas stuck with him against the NCAA and only got 4 game suspension lol. Kansas gave basically a lifetime contract after the 22 championship.

Interesting times to need a head coach for your basketball team. Currently, Virginia, Miami, Florida State and Indiana will need a head coach with more openings to come in another month and a half.
Honestly, there are only a few good choices available and they will go where they feel is the best for along with the highest bidder.
If you don't get the guy you want, the danger then becomes taking a rethread as if he will become something that he has proven he is not.
The rethread will win the press conference and some headlines but you will not be as successful as you want to be when you hired him.
This is the dangerous spot Miami is in.
Miami has the location, conference and enough talent within the state to start small then become a successful basketball program.
However, rethread will not help you get there.
Who is a RETHREAD?
Guys like Andy Kennedy, Richard Pitino, Tom Cream, Josh Pastner, Chris Mack immediately come to mind.
With all due respect, they are good coaches but if you want your program to consistently win 20+ games and make the NCAA tournament every year, these guys have a proven track record that says they cannot do it.
Personally, I would rather hire an assistant coach with no head coaching experience but has been on the staff (and been instrumental in recruiting and player development) that has accomplished what I want to see my program become instead of hiring a rethread knowing he will never be what I desired yet I have to watch 5 years of regret because I knew when I hired him, he will never lead my program to what I truly wanted. But I hired him to win the press conference to sell my fanbase something!!! Something I don't know.
The next basketball coach is about winning games and championships but not about winning the press conference and off-season headlines.
