Working behind the scenes, apparently. He sees his time at UCLA may be nearing the end.
 
Heard this too. One of the talk shows today said it was either UofL floating his name to gauge fan reaction or Alford floating it to get UCLA to give him more money.
 
If Joe Lunardi’s last bracket turned out to be accurate, Mr Alford will get his chance to prove his unworthiness. Lunardi has UCLA-Louisville as 11 seeds facing each other in a play-in game.
 
It’s his side wanting it, not ours. Same thing happened when he wanted the IU job last year.
 
Alford would suck. If you can’t get to one final 4 with UCLA then you just aren’t a good coach. They had like 10 titles in a row. All the tradition and nba legends. Crazy the drop off they’ve had.
 
I guess since they are supposed to make an announcement on April 11th and all these new names coming up let us know that Padgett won't be the coach.

He is 5 years of successful coaching elsewhere away from deserving this job. Early ACC record was fools gold and I fell for it.
 
Alford has had commitments from nine 5-star kids since his UCLA arrival in 2013 including the '18 class. Sorry, that's way too much smoke for me to believe the guy's clean...
 
Pretty sure when I looked at some recruiting rankings Alford next class was in the top 10 and Chris Mack's was out of the top 50?
 
Mack had a top 10 class for '17
I'm aware of that but I'm looking at the total body of work here you will never see any of the top programs that we aspire to ride with having recruiting classes ranked as low as the one I saw

Both of those concern me. What is Alford doing, and what was Mack doing?...

It doesn’t matter what they did. Anyone who doesn’t see that the ncaa is going to totally change the existing rules so that they can look the other way and stay in power - just simply isn’t paying attention.

While I would mostly agree you must remember that the entire set-up during the Wooden run was much easier. The bracket was 32 not 68, there was no seeding, the West regional was usually the weakest, etc.

While I’m not in favor of Alford, we could do worse. But, I prefer to do better.
