With Steve Alford finally being exiled from the UCLA basketball program, the UCLA Athletic Department (or more appropriately, the donors) need to take a long hard look at several top-tier candidates.
But first things first. Just because this is UCLA does not mean that coaches will flock to the AD for an interview. Though this is the most storied program in college hoops history, there is a lot of pressure that comes with it, which could turn off many candidates.
Still, this is an opportunity for a proven coach to bring the Bruins back to national prominence, but who should UCLA go after?
