I'm hoping Romar considers someone with more seasoning.

Bob,

Are the two possibilities speculation on your part, or something more?

Boby Jones just got hired by Spurs for 10-day contract. I know it doesn't seem much, but all young players now, he resembles Bruce Bowen the most, without the dirty tricks. Of course couple seasons with Spurs can teach him to be a premier defender even in NBA. Let's hope that Spurs stick with him and turn him into the next Bruce Bowen!!

Dollar leaving is a bad sign. A HC at Sac St is beneath the status of any assistant at one of the top Pac 10 programs. But, admittedly, an assistant at Oregon St. would likely be grateful for the HC job at Sac St. as those people are likely out of coaching altogether. So, what does Dollar know that we don't?

The reason why Dollar would be interested is that this gives him a chance to be a HEAD COACH at a D-1 school...the same reason Bone went to Portland State. Gotta show you can do it there before you go to a BCS type of conference.

I also hope that Romar is seriously looking at either one of these guys, we need someone with much more experience.

Dawginbrier --- Just speculation on my part figuring that those are two guys who might be interested. As for Dollar, I wouldn't read anything more into this than than that it's an assistant wanting to be a head coach at the D-I level. Those are hard jobs to get no matter the school and Cameron has a lot of ties to California that I'm sure make him think he could be more successful there than other coaches have been.

no bob, that's just you

I hope Dollar does indeed get the job in Sacramento. It would be a bold move for the ADs down there to go with Dollar, who is considered more of a high risk high reward type coach than the other JChead coaching candidates they're considering. At UW, Dollar is known as being a good recruiter--however I think what this program needs is a solid x's and o's coach, as Romar clearly isn't one. Recruiting is one of Romar's strengths, so losing Dollar's recruiting abilities isn't a major concern.

Coach,

UW is one of the top Pac 10 teams? wierd, I thought they finished near the bottom of the league. I guess I'm missing something...

I think TV ratings for the NCAA tournament are down 7 percent so far because advertising has increased 200%. IT'S RIDICULOUS!

Bob,
The PI has an article about D'Agelo Casto seriously considering going to WSU once he academically qualifies. How hard were the Huskies pursuing him? It doesn't sound like we have much of a chance to get him, but how bad did we want him in the first place? He seems to have some question marks (academics, constant transferring, lack of rating by recruiting sites) but he is also a proven winner and an in state guy...
Do you have any info on him?
Thanks

i agree that these candidates look way too green. if cameron leaves i'd like to see lorenzo hire a brainiac in-game strategy wizard. i think we need that more than we need an all-star recruiter.

D'Angelo Casto is a great high school player, but I would be a little leery of a guy who went program-shopping in high school right after leading his team to a state championship, and has academic problems to boot. He is not the only 6'8" guy in the world who can run the floor, I think UW can afford to go for some other guys with fewer question marks.

Charlie:
My point is that the Sac St. job is a significant step down for an assistant at a top Pac 10 program, but it is a step up if that assistant is at a near bottom Pac 10 program. If the UW ship was turning around, it would behoove Dollar to stay. But that is not how Dollar is acting and that is a telling signal as to the future direction of the UW program.

Eric Bridgeland, who was a phenomenal coach at the University of Puget Sound, and who was the interim head coach at Pepperdine this season, is looking for a job and would be a great hire.

This guy can coach, recruit and motivate with the best of them.
