WISHFUL THINKING
1. Bob Knight (unattached): Would he want to coach in same league as his son?
2. Tubby Smith (Minnesota): Likely a huge buyout; not that it would be a problem.
3. Tony Bennett (Washington State): If not interested in Indiana, why OSU?
USUAL SUSPECTS
1. Mark Few (Gonzaga): Previously turned down Indiana. Might never leave Spokane.
2. Jay Wright (Villanova): Forget it. He loves the City of Brotherly Love.
3. Rick Majerus (St. Louis): Quotable, but doesn't fit Holder's high health standards.
TOP CANDIDATES
1. Anthony Grant (VCU): Jeff Capel's replacement is on everybody's wish list
2. Sean Miller (Xavier): A hot commodity, which explains a $2 million buyout.
3. Kevin Stallings (Vanderbilt): Is said to be ready, willing and able to go elsewhere.
4. Chris Lowery (Southern Illinois): Gave Sean Sutton's his last loss as OSU coach.
5. Keno Davis (Drake): A head-coach designate who has panned out well.
WORTH PONDERING
1. Lon Kruger (UNLV): Loves to golf; use Karsten Creek.
2. Mike Brey (Notre Dame): Program not as big as the name implies.
3. Dana Altman (Creighton): Turned down Arkansas, but worth a shot.
NOT HAPPENING
1. Scott Sutton (ORU): Why would he work for the man who fired his older brother?
2. James Dickey (OSU assistant): A loyal lieutenant. It would be wise to retain him as assistant.
3. Leonard Hamilton (Florida State): Been here, done that.

First, the Miami (FL) who was Barnes' top assistant.
Second, the Georgia coach who proved a crippled team can win a conference tournament playing two games in one day, and real tired of unrealistic fans.
3. Nolan Richardson....the old, savvy buzzard strategy worked once...why not again?
KIDDING!
