What is the fascination with Person?  What in his resume makes us think he would be a great coach?  Can he even be considered since he doesn't have a degree?

I still say Brad Stevens of Butler should be high on everybody's list. He can flat out coach. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing Mike Anderson get the job though. Missouri is a fun team to watch play basketball.

Well, off the top of my head. 1) He is a AU man- and one of the few former BB players with solid NBA success. 2) He is from the state of Alabama (playing HS ball at Brantley) and might have a decent chance to tap into all the great in-state players that we almost never can get. 3) He has name recognition and solid NBA contacts which could help in enticing top level talent. 4) He would probably come at a reasonable price if coaching on the college level was something he was interested in. 5) He has to be better than Lebo for sure.

What makes us think he wouldn't be a great coach? Just because he hasnt' proven it on the college level doesn't mean he couldn't be super successful. We don't exactly have a track record of hiring the John Wooden's of college basketball- we could do much worse than The Rifleman that's for sure.
