LA, here is my short list for Dr. Hill:

1) Ben Howland

2) Tom Crean

3) Billie Gillispie

4) Trent Johnson

5) Mark Few

VERBOTEN: Anyone from BYU's staff particularly Dave Rose; Reggie Theus; anyone lacking head coaching experience

How can you leave Dave Rice off? We'd be lucky to get him!

Kyle Collinsworth is better than Clyburn already if he was the best player on a team he would easily put up 18 and 10. But he is the 5th best player on BYUs team and is asked to play a role. Clyburn is not a good enough shooter to play on this BYU team. He is a lackluster defender and pounds the ball to much. Him and Zylstra are pretty much interchangeable.

You should really stick to football if you honestly think that Zylstra is interchangeable with Clyburn. Of course, I doubt you believe a damn thing that you are posting in this thread and if you do, you really don't know anything about hoops.

Winder has never played a single DI game. Carlino washed out at UCLA, which doesn't mean he won't be successful at BYU but it also doesn't mean he is great (despite the offers). You do know that occasionally people miss on prospects don't you?

Now you are bagging on a kid because of injuries? He got a concussion didn't like the fit at UCLA and left. Had he not been injured he would have played a lot of minutes. The kid is supposed to be a senior in high school right now he graduated early. The fact that Billy Donovan (why isn't he on your unrealistic coaching candidates list), Tom Crean (he is on seattleutes LOL!), and Ben Howland all wanted him and asked him to leave a year early to play is all I need to know about him. That and the fact that Dave Rose wanted him who is clearly the best coach in the state and one of the best in the country. In fact I wish fat ass Majerus were still here because Dave Rose would be kicking his ass right now.

Let's get this back on topic....JIMMER!

At this point you would be lucky to land Craig Drury from Provo High school.

4) Trent Johnson

5) Mark Few

Howland is a good coach, but I would hate watching his teams play 30 games a year.

Trent Johnson? Really? Yikes. That he is on your list and that he is #4 is scary.

If Few doesn't leave Gonzaga for nearly double the paycheck and to return to his hometown the conquering hero, he isn't leaving for a school that just fired one of his buddies and can't afford a huge raise.

Really, Trent Johnson?

I thought you said you haven't been watching Utah.

That is great Utah will not come close to touching any of those 5 except maybe the alcoholic Gillespie but even then he may not come because of the 3.2% beer.

Sorry Ute fans but your expectations are way to high. Stick with Kerry Rupp or Randy Rahe because that is as good as you are going to get. Utah is not a premier job it never has been and never will be. The only good news is that you are going to an inferior conference than the MWC so you may actually be able to finish in the top half one in awhile.

There's a chance every one of those guys except few will be looking for a job in March. I'm thinking maybe Few is realizing Gonzaga's inherent limitations by now. Gonzaga is not a premier job unlike Utah.

Sadly the one game I have attended in the HC this year is 1 more than Funk has attended in the last 5.

There is also a chance that everyone of them will have much better offers than Utah. Glad you are setting your expectations on coaches that are about to get fired from their previous jobs. Good luck with that.

And Karl Malone 'earned' his championship ring.

Dumb ass. Stupid Pistons won that year, not the Lakers.

"Had the Lakers won the championship that year, Karl Malone would have 'earned' his championship ring on the backs of all the other players while he rode out his injury".

Is that better?

I loved the big man, but lost all respect for him when Larry Miller was forced to PAY HIM to attend his own farewell party.

Maybe when Dave Rose has even a 1/3 of the conference championships and tournament wins of Rick Majerus you can come talk to me about him kicking his ass. If Dave Rose is half as successful as Majerus he will be the best coach in the history of BYU.

Utah deserves better, the fans deserve better. Even though they don't show up they deserve better damn it.

Dave Rose is already a better coach than Majerus because he has done it without cheating. (Don't give me the bullshit cookies and milk line either we know it was more than that)

Really, Trent Johnson?

Trent Johnson had a lot of success at Nevada and Stanford and actually won the SEC his first year at LSU, a job for which he's totally ill-suited. He has recruited extremely well at all his schools. He also has Utah ties.
