Absolutely. He's just trying to see if any bigger fish bite. If they do, then ASU gets culled.

He will take the ASU job. It all depends if they will meet his demands.

He told me he'll take the job if he doesn't have to change his "40 minutes of HE!!" defense to some pansy name because it offends some lost soul. Then we ate burgers and drank beer all night as we watched old May-Day games on vhs.

I believe they hired the consulting firm because everything handled by the firm is protected from the Freedom of Information Act. If the University handled it, everything would be public knowledge.

The fact that Nolen is even looking at the job helps ASU get attention with other canadiates that otherwise might not even consider ASU

I'm sure there's a long line of coaches just wanting to brag they beat Nolan out of the ASU job.

How soon we forget. Has everyone forgot the last few years of the NR days
on the Hill. I WAS a fan of NR in the early days........I think he is a good coach,
but in his last days he couldnt see the court from the chip on his shoulder. The
last 6 years may have changed in a little.....he diffently changed his looks.
He may have brought a ring to the hill, but what can he accomplish at ASU?
DN may have or have not been a good coach, never was able to make my
mind up on that one. But, what does ASU have to offer the big name players
that would make them wanna attend ASU. It will take more than NR. He's a band-aid and if he is hired..........it wont belong till the bleeding starts again.

All colleges have about the same things they offer. It's all how you whine and dine these guys. Especially when it comes to the big name player's. It can be done at ASU. It is done at places like Butler,SIU,Creighton,Wintrop,Missouri State,Drake,etc......... Have you ever been to Carbondale? It can be done at ASU.

I hear that.......but where is Butler? Indianapolis, IN. enough said on that one.
Carbondale...Il, Ks or this one.....Small Western Colorado town close to world class fishing, skiing, hiking, camping, biking, river rafting, hunting.
O wait .... Jonesboro has the Mall at Turtle creek and whats the name of that
club........

we have fishing, rafting, hiking, camping in ne ark. we have the clubs in j-town. and memphis is only a short drive away.

and hunting also.

see that being a big draw for BB players?

Strike #1 to anybody thinking about Memphis being a plus for ASU!! And a big Strike!!

Memphis, the Capital of Crime!!

the type Nolan would recruit? he basiclly only wants one type, he isn't shy about it

That's where Memphis and the clubs come in. They already offer frequent shooter cards to the players.
