Comparing Kevin Ollie with Dave Padgett? Whatever floats your boat. You seem pretty sure Dave will not be the man. Your tone is that desperate, lol.
Sure, if Dave can't convince people he is appropriate for the gig, we'll cast eyes elsewhere. Eric Mussleman at Nevada would be the first guy I would call. Truth is, there just aren't that many compelling coaching choices out there. The good ones have jobs.
Most of our fans are seriously risk-aversive. Hell, if Padgett shows what many of us suspect, he would be overwhelmingly the right choice. Making a genius is hard work. We already did it with Jeff Walz.
