Spent most of his career on the west coast. Wonder if he'd be interested in a major rebuild.

In February 2012, a Sports Illustrated article portrayed UCLA player Reeves Nelson as a bully on and off the court, who at times intentionally tried to injure his teammates. According to the article, Howland looked the other way and did not discipline Nelson for over two years.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] From 2008—the Bruins last Final Four appearance—through 2012, at least 11 players left the UCLA program.[SUP][9][/SUP]After 2008, UCLA did not advance past the first weekend of the NCAA tourney, and did not qualify for the tournament in 2010 and 2012.[SUP][10]

Been there, done that. [/SUP]

My endorsement is Larry Eustachy. He's won everywhere he's been, and the last couple of places he's been aren't easy to win at.

Howland got fired the same year he won the PAC 10 title. Stansbury was fired after taking a team from an NCAA 5-seed to an NIT 4-seed over the last 10 games of his final season. Big difference. I'll take a flyer on him if he's interested. He's by far the surest bet of any coach out there, but no proven coach of his pedigree is coming to MSU or really any SEC school other than UK unless they have some baggage.

If he likes SoCal, then he'll fall in love with Starksville.
