Dixon better stay with Pitt.

Obviously the Indiana job has to be the most appealling job for coaches out there. The history and prestige of that program never seems to scare people away like it should.

Crap. We want Mark Few, dammit.

Hey, didn't the Washington State coach leave his heart in SF?

Tony Bennett will consider the job but he wants everyone to know he "left his heart in San Francisco" !!!

Why do people think anyone wants the IU job and now the Cal job. The media here are talking about Tom Izzo as the next IU head coach, and why would Tony Bennett leave Washington State for Cal???

hey IrishR#1 -- with a substantial new coach's salary, the San Francisco Bay Area would be an incomparably better place to live than Pullman -- and Cal is a major university, unlike WashSt ... go Bears!

I'm hearing Bruce Pearl to IU.

why would he leave a program he's already building up well to a program that just finished 9th in the pac 10? he's already been at the bottom and now has the foundation to continue on his progress, why go back and try to do it again?

as for indiana, they're just a typical big program blowing smoke because they think that anyone in the world wants to come and coach for them.

Indiana job is open... Bobby Knight is available... sounds like karma...

Tony Bennet won't leave Washington State for Cal. Probably for IU or another vacancy that comes up, but not for Cal.

As for Mark Few, he hasn't left in 10 years why do you think he is going to now?

Cal has a basketball program? Tony Gonzales isn't there anymore Tony. Go to IU where the fans will adore you.

My guess is that Bennett gets and prefers the Indiana job, since he and his father have long midwestern roots, than the Cal job. This guy, like his father, is a good coach.

Cal has the talent base -- it just needs a coach -- Hardin, Christopher & Anderson can play with anyone -- they would have beaten UCLA except for the refs. Go Bears!

CNNSI got the wrong Bennett, Cal wants RANDY Bennett from St Mary's. And why would Tony go from a great situation that he loves to a program about to lose all of its talent, already lost all of its recruits and is going on probation?

Unless there's a sleeper somewhere, it looks like it's going to be Dunlap. (geck.) Why can't CAL attract a really good basketball coach, dammit?
