I'm continuing to hear Tim Floyd's name in your basketball search...

    I am hearing that South Carolina is after Miami's coach & that Grant may be interested in returning home to Miami if it opens up.

    That is pretty interesting. I would be surprised if Haith left Miami but I do believe Miami can become a pretty good program...where as South Carolina isn't looking so hot.

    Possible but if we get Greg McGarity out of Florida as our AD I am pretty sure Grant will follow even if the Miami job is open. Right now I think McGarity and the Florida Atlantic AD, Craig Angelos, are the leaders to fill the LSU AD spot.

    My comment wasn't an indictment on the basketball team's performance this year. I agree, they probably performed about as expected. My point was, he hasn't built up a group of youngsters that can win a national championship next year or even be Pac-10 champs (assuming Mayo leaves, which is not a certainty but surely you would even put that at 80 percent right?)

    Tim Floyd is certainly a great coach and will build a great program somewhere. I definitely don't see him leaving USC, however my point was, there are some things in our favor. His roots are obviously important, and he's not too entrenched there. Do I think he comes, absolutely not, but stranger things have happened.

    I would think that is a question of $$. Quite frankly, I think Columbia is the arm pit of South Carolina but they do have a good facility to play their games in...practice facilities are another subject.

    Of course, when comparing it to Miami, unless you have the $$ there probably isn't a lot of a difference besides more people speaking English in Cola.

    I know they have sent "feelers" out to Capel. If I were him, I wouldn't make the change unless there was a huge monetary boost in the move.

    The question is, Is the armpit of South Carolina better than Miami?

    Basketball is 3rd fiddle behind football and baseball because of a lack of consistent success. Football will always be no. 1, basketball can have a big following, ala Dale Brown's teams in the late 70's early 80's

    I suspect Anthony Grant is at the top of the list.

    We can always count on Negrodamus to come up with unparalleled wisdom.
