I guess we will soon find out if Memphis BB has been all about Calipari, and that it's BB program will take a hard fall. No doubt Calipari is a special recruiter. He seems to say to the top recruits "if you want to play in the NBA, come with me". My own observation is that Memphis is an outstanding coaching job for the right coach. I would think they would try to hire someone who has had some success in the NBA. If and when UALR has a coaching vacancy, I would hope that's what they would do, or try to do.

I think Reggie Theus would be the perfect hire for Memphis. They're Tim Floyd, and their fans seem to want Miller from Xavier (I doubt he'd go there). Will be interesting to see what happens.
