It seems like most folks are coalescing around the following: If Shaka Smart is indeed off the table (and hopefully he is not), then the next targets are Danny Hurley (who seems to make sense, but is still a bit risky), Tom Crean (who has a much more consistent track record, but also has a punchable face), Jamion Christian (who is probably too green) and Patrick Ewing (if we want to stay in the family).
Maybe the above summation makes sense, maybe it doesn’t. For now, in the interest of thoroughness, I think we should also consider looking at some of these names that have yet to be addressed:
Tony Bennett: I think we can all agree that TB is a helluva coach.
