The thing that concerns me about Izzo and Cleveland is that apparently Chicago made an offer to him and he made no mention of it to his team. Then cleveland shows interest and he calls a meeting. I'm using Bzdelik leaving Colorado as an example, but usually when a coach calls a meeting it doesnt end well for fans of that school.
I'm hesitant to put Calipari towards the top of coaching list are because of 2 reasons:
1995–96 Massachusetts 31–1 * 15–1 1st NCAA Final Four (vacated)
2007–08 Memphis 38–2 ** 16–0 ** 1st NCAA Runner-up (vacated)
plus multiple other shaddy recruiting stories....hiring Dajuan Wagners dad as a coach, Derrick Rose's brother, hiring Tyreke Evens' personal coach, Robert Doziers questionable decision to dump Georgia for Memphis, Eric Bledsoe not passing high school, calling Terrence Jones minutes after he commits to Washington then later decommits and signs with Kentucky...guy leaves a slime trail every recruiting trip he makes.
