A day after Dickey Nutt resigned as the basketball coach at Arkansas State, Oklahoma State assistant coach James Dickey's name has come up in several Arkansas news reports as a possible replacement.

Dickey said Wednesday afternoon that he has not been contacted by Arkansas State.
"I do have interest in being a head coach again, and I have strong relationships at Arkansas State. But I have not heard from (Arkansas State),” Dickey said. "My main priority now is helping this (Oklahoma State) team and helping coach Sean (Sutton) win games.”
Dickey, an Arkansas native and graduate of Central Arkansas, was the head coach at Texas Tech from 1991-2001 after serving on staffs for Eddie Sutton at both Arkansas and Kentucky. He has been an assistant at OSU since 2002.

He has had other opportunities. He has chosen to stay at OSU for family reasons but is now ready to consider a move. It would be a big loss for OSU but James is a class guy and a very good coach who certainly deserves a head coaching position if it is what he wants. They would be very lucky to have him.
Coach Dickey deserves another chance at being a head coach. Unless I am mistaken, he is the all time winingest coach in Tech history. I have never understood why he hasn't had other opportunities.
