courtside Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 ....continues to be pushed in the AZ media as one of many candidates for the ASU job. After Dixon used the offer as leverage for 7 figures at Pitt.... Former ASU guard Lionel Hollins wants the job, but is fall back candidate. Others mentioned have been Rick Majerus, ....ASU AD Lisa Love was Assistant AD when Majerus accpeted and refused USC job. Mark Turgeon because he was an assistant at Oregon for a while...but even they think that one is as far fetched as I do. Bennett's family lives in the area and he grew up in Mesa. Certainly not their top choice but he is in the mix. The new Ad is pushing for big upgrades and has big ideas....and ASU down for a long long time...certainly has potential imo as a program, in a good ocnference, and great are in which to live.....

courtside Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Credible sources saying Rick Majerus to ASU pending physical. .....but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Law Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Majerus didn't take then refuse the USC job. There was much more to that - no hard feelings on the part of either party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Obviously. I just mentioned his prior relationship with Lisa Love, which helped lead to his being considered at ASU. ...I always say when I know something, I say so...when I don't I say so.....on this one, I'd bet a LOT of money I know a lot more than you. No offense...not trying to be a jerk or anything ....but I know a LOT on this topic, and people involved.... And I would like to leave it at that when it comes to Rick and not elaborate, and you'll just have to trust me on this one, not going into more detail on public message board....and I will leave it at that. Publicly, I can say I hope the best for him, and that this works out for him, and wish him all the best, a great coach, and great person....good for the game.

Schasz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Rick has always impressed me as being a very strong x's and o's coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Schasz, Go pick up the book, "My Life on a Napkin." by Rick Majerus. I think you would enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Rick is no longer a candidate at ASU. Search is re-openend and Randy Bennett is in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Majerus just likes to see his name in the press - I did not think he would ever coach again - he has too cushy of a job now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Today's Contra Costa Times notes that the Arizona Republic said that Randy Bennett "has emerged as a leader" for the Arizona State job. The CoCo Times further states that Bennett has denied talkng to ASU. Stay tuned on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIKNS Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Been waiting for a response from you, Bay Area. Really think Randy would be a great hire for the Devils.With all he has done at St.mary`s,hope this is his big chance,would have to go out and get an ASU shirt for sure if Randy gets the job.
