I wonder if there's some school that's his dream to coach at and he's waiting on that.

But whatever...I think he can recruit LA and make UCLA a damn good program again...but it looks like he's just a huge pussy. You don't coach basketball in the NCAA to end up at schools like VCU. JMO

Oh yeah, tell me more about this scared shitless coach who has won everywhere he's been...  |
Bearcat, I totally agree.
I was just responding to you guys putting down Smart for not trying to go to a bigger stage, you can't blame him, he is contempt at where he's at....Just like Bill Self is contempt to stay where he is at...You're putting down 1 coach and defending another for doing the same thing.
