Will not make the tournament for the second year in a row, after a 80-73 road loss to  Appalachian State on Saturday, so he is allowed to just fade away, after announcing his retirement at the start of the season. Finished with 121 wins, in eight years at A-State.

I guess the fire in the belly is gone for him.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

No.

The JB Sun filed a FOI and published a list of people that had applied but that is all we know (only names I knew that had applied were Darrel Walker, Stan Heath, and some former A-State basketball players). Some candidates teams are involved in the NCAA tournament, so maybe not until that plays out.

The only viable candidate from that list is Stephens. The rest are not going to happen. Especially Darrell Walker. ASU is not going to repeat UALR's mistake with Moncrief.

Per a poster on AStateNation.com, some more names:

http://www.scout.com/college/arkansas-state/forums/4546-scaife-city/14618857-hoopsdirt-com-astate-coaching-rumors-article

"Arkansas State: Last week, I published a list of candidates at Arkansas State (Arkansas State Dirt).  Word on the street is that interviews have started there and in addition to the names on the original list, there are a few others involved.  I've heard they are: Kurtis Townsend (assistant coach Kansas), Steve Henson (assistant coach Oklahoma), and Grant McCasland (assistant coach Baylor).  I've also heard that a current DI head coach is involved as well."

If Travis Ford is shown the door at Okie State, I can honestly see him coming to ASU.

And it is Grant McCasland.......who is to be the next head basketball coach at ASU.

Wonder if ASU will pitch it's basketball program to prospective coaches the way they have with their football program....."come here, work hard & recruit well and in a few years you'll have a big time Power 5 gig."

Doubtful, while high school basketball is big in NEA, it isn't at ASU. There were more people at some JHS games this year, than ASU's.

Total rebuild at ASU. It will be a tough job initially.

Yeah, I doubt he will get to do a total overhaul of the roster like at UALR.

That was more indicative of peoples dislike for Brady and the product he was putting on the floor this year than it was of general interest in basketball at ASU. Now will McCasland return ASU to the days of averaging 8,000+ per game like they were doing during the peak of Catalina's days? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure though. People in and around Jonesboro and alumni around the state are hungry for something to support at ASU besides the football team. And a good mens basketball team would serve as a great filler in between football seasons.

I hope McCasland gets to do just that. There was some dead wood on that roster this year that don't deserve a shot at coming back next year.

And there is nothing that will drag a team down more quickly than even a small sum of players half-way pulling their own weight.  It weighs on teamwork, discipline and morale all at the same time.

Schollies are renewable at the end of the year.  The new coach should have a pretty significant say in who stays and who transfers or joins the outta town club.

I think the turnaround will be rather quick ( they have more than enough talent to compete in the SBC), and there is no doubt that their fans will back a winner.

IMO A-State has as much or more potential in basketball than football, and just need a spark, like Freeze was in football, to get the thing going.

At the time it seemed like a good idea with the previous player revolt, decreasing wins and declining attendance.
