Finalists have been on campus. To me, one stands higher than the rest. He is a HC and a HC who wins.

I have no knowledge about where they are in the process of hiring our next coach or why it has taken this long to do it. However, it could have something to do with the fact that college basketball is still being played. Coaches are required to attend meetings at the final 4. They could be waiting on that or they may have made a choice already, but just can't announce at this point.
Any way I look at this, it seems to be a complete rebuild, after having 6 of our top 8 players, plus one senior leaving the team. We will have at least 6 spots to fill and the need will be at every position.
As for the debate about whether we should get a coach with local ties or someone from another geographic region, I don't see that it should matter at all. Just bring in the winningest coach you can find and let the chips fall where ever the fall. As for taking the advise from Dame and our coaches still on campus, I would say to take all the expert counsel you can get to make the right decision.
I'm not so worried about recruiting the transfer market. The players who are out of our price range will still be out of our price range and there will still be a large contingent of quality HS and transfer players available over the next month or two. We landed Stan Rose and Rico Washington in the middle of the Summer.

I'm thinking that we will end up with a winning D11 coach, a winning JC coach, or a highly regarded assistant coach from a from a successful mid major program. I'm also sure that all of our current assistants will be looked at. I would like to see a hire by Saturday as well, but I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't announced until next week.
