ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST....
This week, the week preceding the final four weekend is always a big week for the firing and hiring of college basketball coaches. Almost all Division 1 coaches plus a lot of assistants and out-of work coaches travel to the Final Four site (they don't all go to the games, they hang around the hotels, attend conferences, meet with colleagues, but most importantly just to be seen) so rumors will fly that certain coaches have been hired or have been offered jobs.
1. Sean Sutton appears to be out at Oklahoma State. Early rumors- OSU will make a run at OSU alum Bill Self. Of course Dickie V will scream that OSU should consider hiring Bobby Knight.

2. Indiana is still looking for a coach. Early rumors had the Hoosiers looking at Washington State's Tony Bennett. Bennett is apparently not interested, so the next in the rumor line is former Stanford coach, Mike Montgomery. Of course Dickie V will scream that Indiana should consider hiring Bobby Knight.

3. LSU is also looking for a basketball coach and an AD. Duke AD Joe Alleva is set to interview for the LSU athletic director job. What if he takes that job- how long till the rumors start that Alleva will try to bring Coach K with him! One rumor I heard had former Chicago Bulls' coaching legend Tim Floyd leaving USC for LSU. Pitt's coach (Jamie Dixon ) would then take the USC job and Xavier's Sean Miller returning to his alma mater. Of course, Dickie V will scream that LSU should consider hiring Bobby Knight.

4. Some other jobs open: Cal, Western Kentucky, San Francisco, Kent State and Toledo (considering Buzz Peterson). The Northwestern job is not yet available, but it should be!
