UCLA Bruins head coach Steve Alford played down any speculation linking him with the newly vacated coaching position for the Indiana Hoosiers.
Alford said that he understood why he was mentioned as a possible replacement for Tom Crean, whom Indiana announced Thursday it fired. However, he remains content in Los Angeles, per ESPN.com's Brian Bennett.
"But I love UCLA. I love Los Angeles," Alford said. "You're talking about arguably the greatest brand anywhere on the planet. We've got things going at a very high level now, and we're very excited about it.
