UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

Even if he wanted to come, I wouldn't want him. They need someone who is willing to be out on the road after games, over holidays, in snowstorms recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. I don't think career NBA guys who've never coached in college have even a clue how much work it is. If people are going to throw out pipe dream names of coaches who will never, ever come to ND, then go with Billy Donovan. He knows the college game and would assemble a top college staff.

As long as we're dreaming, then call Rick Pitino. He and Bobby Knight are the two best college coaches in my lifetime. Pitino can win anywhere. He's winning at freaking Iona. He could get a UHND all-star team to win. ND is a Jesuit school. It should be about redemption. Call the man. His kid graduated from ND. ND should definitely call Junior down at Albuquerque.

Now, for realistic candidates: Bryce Drew, Grant McCasland, Tim Miles (ND is his "dream job"), Mike Rhoades, Shantay Legans, Casey Alexander, Kevin Kruger, Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz (defensive and big guy specialties) Mark Prosser, Dusty May, among others.
