Welcome to Sports Illustrated’s weekly college hoops mailbag with Kevin Sweeney. Here, Kevin will field questions submitted via Twitter and email about a variety of topics in the sport. Have a question you’d like answered in a future mailbag? Send it to @CBB_Central on Twitter or [email protected] (questions around either men’s or women’s basketball are welcome!). Without further ado, let’s get to your questions, which have been lightly edited for grammar and clarity ...
Nick asks: Who is a crazy recommendation for the Louisville gig that no one has mentioned yet?
Well, it feels like just about everyone has been mentioned already for this vacancy, and it has been open officially for 48 hours. SI’s Pat Forde floated the likes of Kenny Payne, Mick Cronin, Matt Painter, Steve Forbes, Mark Pope and Chris Holtmann while ruling out the Bruce Pearl marriage that Louisville fans on Twitter are pining for. Essentially every big-name coach in the SEC has been floated in some form or fashion, as has Baylor’s Scott Drew.
