Forde's article paints a less than ideal situation. Says hiring Bruce Pearl will be a non-starter due to his troubles with the NCAA. Never even brings up Nate Oats, Eric Musselman, Scott Drew or any other guys like that.
Weirdly brings up Matt Painter? Spends an entire paragraph discussing him. No thanks.
Does mention that Payne will be a popular choice and is a possibility.
Mentions Cronin but says he's set up well UCLA.
Says in the article: "Others who could be of interest: Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes, BYU’s Mark Pope, Ohio State’s Chris Holtmann, Seton Hall’s Kevin Willard, Connecticut’s Danny Hurley, Murray State’s Matt McMahon, Cincinnati’s Wes Miller."
Also purpurates the ridiculous idea that won't go away that UofL might need to consider hiring Davenport as a bandaid temp fix.
All in all - kind of a depressing read.
