Bill Walton...

I don't think this is a terrible idea and we might not be able to do better. Leach and Walton would be the most bizarre/quotable tandem in college sports. Let's not forget Bill Walton played for the GOAT in college.

It certainly would rank right up there. Of course, I can't stand Walton as a color guy. When he runs off at the mouth, I run off.
 
Hell i much rather have Charles Barkley and Ty Lue. , Now that Leach Barkeley combo would be a bizarre tandem. Money is no problem with WSU as we know.

Actually - as far as commentators go, Doug Gottlieb made a strong candidacy for the Okie State job last year but essentially got passed over for lack of D1 experience.

Not saying he's worth any more of a look than anybody else but he comes from a deep coaching family, has coached at the junior level and can talk a mile a minute. Tied in tight on the SoCal AAU circuit, too.

A funny anecdote Bill Walton and another commentator were discussing the Nebraska job (True Story). The other commentator mentioned Dana Altman. Bill Walton of course said no way. The commentator said" he's from Nebraska" Bill Walton s response" that s why he s from Nebraska !! " . :) : ) : ). No Pullman jokes now :)
 
I would take Bill on the bench if Luke came along. ;)

Luke has a great FM DJ voice, but no thanks as a HC. His Lakers record is abysmal and even with (3) #2 picks and arguably the NBA’s GOAT, he’s looking at another sub-par .500.
His timing was perfect to take the reins @ GS when Kerr was disabled, but he’s done nothing except ingratiate himself with Queen Jeanie in LA to qualify his coaching skills.
He does have a deep voice though, maybe he can replace Glen Johnson upon retirement.

Well he's not coming to Pullman. Isn't Lebron really pulling the strings wherever he goes anyway?

I suspect as he had Blatt fired and Lue hired in Cleveland.
Bill told Luke not to take the Laker job as there were too many challenges and too high expectations.
Was looking through PAC12 coaching salaries and although a bit behind other conferences, I didn’t realize these guys are getting paid $2M - $3.5M, besides Kent and Jones.
 
Some posters here thought that they would hire someone for 300-400 k" with incentives "Lunacy :)

WTF are you talking about? Few's not coming to Pullman. The university president said no on Pitino - and I most certainly didn't ever suggest Pitino to Pullman.

Repeatedly I've said Chun has his own guy and he's probably not among those mentioned here.

REPEATEDLY I'VE SAID CHUN HAS HIS OWN GUY AND HE'S PROBABLY NOT AMONG THOSE MENTIONED HERE.

Learn to read for gods sake.

And I'll match my basketball bona fides against your crap any day of the week.

You do not need to yell all the other old codgers can hear you. There have been posters maybe less informed, with sugar plums dancing before their eyes. . They want a home run Hire to justify squatty Chun. We are anxiously holding our breath for this mysterious coach to arrive :)

Elc I gotta know, why polar opposite demeanor when it came to Kent and Bone? Do you think 5 years is not enough to show tangible progress ?
 
Bill Walton knows Pullman Enough said. He would go to Nebraska before he would consider Pullman :)
