Don’t know if he would take it, but Mesa native Randy Bennett would be high up ASU’s list.

He's very good, for sure, but I don't think ASU needs a 62-year-old coach at this point. Not sure why he would leave St. Mary's at this point of his life, either. A decade ago, Bennett would have been a very good choice for ASU, especially with his local ties.

ASU could do much worse than Bennett. For starters, many college coaches are coaching into their 70s, so you’d get ~10 years of proven experience. Plus, many of these older coaches start grooming an assistant now as their replacement. Also, ASU can pay more. Bennett makes $1mil, so I’d imagine that they’d pay him more than double his current salary.

I think you guys need the best coach that’s willing to take the job, because the Big-12 is filled with titans. Ideally, Bobby’s replacement is younger, but if a known commodity wants to take the job, you don’t say no.

Derek Glasser is asst coaching at UCSB. Maybe he could be the basketball version of Kenny. All time games played leader and assists leader at ASU, so one would hope he'd love to coach for his alma mater.

Plus, then we complete the set of alumni coaching all four major sports.

I'm not sure what or how he's been doing at UCSB, but they've been a contender in the Big West since he got there, including winning the conference back in 23.

Another near-miss against a top team in Texas Tech. Glad that the players have not packed it in - and there is talent even with JQ out - but it's frustrating to see the team's inability to pull more of these games out. The fouls seemed a little one-sided tonight, but it's the little, coachable things - like boxing out on defense - that seem to be the problem.

Jihad has been awful for the past several games. He is a mid major guy for sure. Hurley calling a time out with 10 or 11 seconds left when Tech had none was dumb. Very dumb. Randy Bennett is a great coach who has been offered at high majors and turned them down. Don't think he is leaving now. Need to bring in a very successful young mid major HEAD COACH. Like Bryce Drew who is just around the block.
