Ultimately, I could see them either hiring the Murray State Coach (Steve Prohm), or the Louisiana Tech Coach (Michael White).

The main problem with the Alabama Head Basketball Coach job is Coleman Coliseum.  That arena in its current condition doesn't help with recruiting the necessary high level players.

I don't think the the kids care about arenas anymore. If they did, we would have been loading up every year.

Ben Howland and Stan Heath's agents have expressed interest.

I'm hearing Mike Dantoni and Avery Johnson are interested

lol they are above that level. well, d'Antoni is.

Johnson is probably too comfy in his ESPN role right now but I coul see it.

What about Mike Brown? He needs work too and has reached the NBA Finals before so I would say he would be qualified enough for Saban to pick him.

The fact that Auburn seems to be turning around under Bruce Pearl has got to light a fire under the Bama search ... Most Bama fans don't care about basketball but they do hate Auburn...

The next job Gregg Marshall takes will be a blue blood kind of job.  Kentucky, UNC, etc. 

In the future if Calipari gets either bored, or he wants to stay a step ahead of the NCAA and he leaves for the NBA, I could see Marshall considered for the Kentucky job.  If Brad Stevens gets tired of the NBA, I could Stevens considered for a Kentucky opening.

Kentucky might be the 1 collegiate job that could get Fred Hoiberg away from Iowa State.

If Cal leaves Kentucky, the next coach is nothing but a patsy for whatever he left in his wake.

After the last up-and-comer didn't work out, I think Alabama will err on the side of experience ... I don't think they can get a big name who is successful elsewhere so they will end up with a name like Rick Stansbury, a solid coach with good credentials... if an up and comer it will be a name people know like  Richard Pitino at Minnesota ...

With Auburn having what amounts to a celebrity as its coach, Bama needs to win the press conference....

IMHO to get a solid name coach like Rick Stansbury, Bama will have to commit themselves to a significant facility upgrade but I don't see them doing that.

AYFSM?  Stans has not been an HC for 3 years.  He may get a mid major job at best if he wants it.  If Bama offered him the job at a $1 mil to $1.5 mil per he would take it.  It's not like he was coaching at some basketball palace when he was the HC.  Also they would not "lower" themselves to hire a coach that MSU fired unless he was already an HC at a mid major burning it up, but he's not.

Grant was paid $1.8M, to coach in a major conference.

That's not a mid major job.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

I doubt this is the thinking of the PTB at Bama. 

Now, if Pearl starts waxing their rears a couple of times a year, they might start concerning themselves with Bruce.  Until then, doubt if they care who is coaching Auburn (Goat Raper U).

Rules for Alabama Basketball coach.
1. Don't get the program in trouble with the NCAA
2. Do your best not to get embarrassed by Aubie all the time.
3.  DO NOT park in coach Saban's parking spot and have oatmeal cream pies readily available of coach Saban!

I think Alabama will come out with a good hire because of Pearl's presence at Auburn. The profile of the SEC as a basketball conference is also on the rise compared to where it was when they hired Grant. They won't attract a heavyweight, but they'll get a good hire. And, in their defense, Anthony Grant seemed like a pretty good hire. Just didn't work.

Larry Brown was a college coach for 10 years before his current stint and was a College HC before the NBA.

Fred Hoiberg has never coached in the NBA not even as an Asst.

But continue to make stupid comments it's funny.

There are "mid-major jobs" better than Bama.

Wichita State, Butler, Gonzaga, Marquette, VCU etc all come to mind.

"Major conference" jobs don't mean squat with the NCAA tourney crowing the champion and the above schools actually giving a crap about basketball first and foremost.

I'll make a prediction: If BCG were to get the Tennessee job, Calipari will be fired from UK within 2 years because from the 2013-2014 season on, Tennessee will own the SEC East until BCG moves on or retires.

So the SEC is going to be much more difficult. I guess Saban is going to use the money on a basketball coach.

Trevor Releford and Levi Randolph were both pretty solid, but as a whole, Grant's tenure was woefully lacking. Should've done a lot more than what he did.
