Three more coaching items

Maybe PTW is torturing logic (we are certainly out in front of any actuality) but someone named jazzyUte at the BlockU site has a post up today about UNLV's Lon Kruger and the opening at Utah. If such turns out to happen, does that mean the suits at UNLV might hire Coach Reggie?

There is an element in Vegas that wants a return to the success (on the court) of the times with Tark and there is solid money behind them. UNLV is certainly a much better match for Theus and endlessly more attractive to him than say Fresno State.

Anyway, just thinking.

Speaking of the Fresno opening, Geno Ford is now the new head coach at Bradley so Fresno State fans can calm down, or at least choose another candidate to wrangle over.

At the Save Mart Center MB at the Bark Board site, there is a debate going on about the suggestion that Portland's Eric Reveno would not be considering the Fresno position because it would be a lateral move.

Hardly.

The Bulldogs are moving into the Mountain West Conference, of which BYU (and also Utah) is departing and headed to the West Coast Conference. Yes, San Diego State is very tough right now but just how is Portland supposed to compete with BYU, Gonzaga and even St. Mary's? Our sense is that Reveno has taken the Pilots are far as can be achieved and NIT post-season participation is the best that can be hoped for.

Having typed all this, PTW hasn't a clue if Reveno is interested in leaving Portland, let alone considering Fresno State as a possible next career move. Add to that the unknown of any reciprocal yearning from those in charge at FSU. However, he is a Bay Area native and our crude calculations indicate the San Joaquin Valley is closer to middle California than PDX.

Hey, if Johnny Dawkins doesn't turn it up and soon, Reveno might just he headed back to The Farm.
