Yep.  Right now he is doing a little multi-tasking, juggling recruiting and searching for assistants.  He is also kind of having to play the waiting game on a few potential candidates.  He has to wait and see who UTEP hires.  One of his former assistants is a candidate for the job and few others are possibilities to stay on under that guy.

That is interesting with UTEP hiring Tim Floyd. Tim Floyd has coached at NBA level and college level and has been successful at the college level. He happened to be the coach at Chicago right after Phil Jackson.  When Phil Jackson left for LA, the Bulls hit rock-bottom during Time Floyd's days as the HC for the Bulls. Floyd is a solid coach that will do well at UTEP. As far as college coaches go, Coach Barbee is as good and quite possibly better than  Floyd. I really think we came out on the better end of the deal.

I wish he would hire Chuck and Wes Person.

Chuck makes too much money in the NBA and will soon be an NBA head coach. He wouldn't come to be an assistant at Auburn. Wesley might be available.

If Chuck makes too much $ in the NBA now, why did we think he would have taken the AU job if offered? we can't pay coaches like the NBA does.

Chuck as Auburn head coach=1.5 million.

Chuck as Auburn assistant= 200 thousand.

Big difference.

What exactly is his position with the Lakers.  Nobody seems to know.  He is not listed as an assistant on their roster.  How can he make that much money if he is not even an assistant coach?

Phil Jackson seems to think a lot of Chuck. Maybe Chuck's job is "Special Assistant to the President".

Whatever, he's making a lot more than an Auburn assistant would make, but less than a head coach, according to media speculation when he was being discussed for the Auburn position.

Special Assistant to the President in Charge of Preventing an Artest Meltdown

I think that's his title isn't it?

Milt Wagner: From UTEP Bio

Milt Wagner won championships at the prep, collegiate and professional levels as a player. He has continued his run of excellence in the coaching ranks.

Wagner has helped UTEP to back-to-back CBI appearances and a total of 42 wins over the last two years. The Miners had a pair of All-Conference USA players last season in guards Stefon Jackson, the league's all-time leading scorer, and Randy Culpepper, the most prolific three-point shooter in UTEP annals. Additionally, forward Arnett Moultrie earned a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman Team.

Wagner came to UTEP after serving as Coordinator of Basketball Operations at Memphis for six seasons. While at Memphis, Wagner worked with Tony Barbee and was a part of the school's run to 148 victories and six straight postseason tournament appearances, including the Elite Eight of the 2006 NCAAs. Memphis also captured the NIT crown in 2002, Wagner's second year on staff. His duties with the Tigers included arranging travel plans, practice times and film exchange.

Wagner starred as a collegian at the University of Louisville, directing the Cardinals to three Final Four berths and the 1986 NCAA championship. Louisville went 113-32 with Wagner on the roster, claiming three Metro Conference regular season titles and two tournament crowns.

Wagner still ranks fifth in Louisville history with 1,836 career points, and his jersey has been retired by the school. He was a three-time All-Metro Conference honoree, playing in 144 games for the Cardinals with 111 starts. In 1993, he was one of 10 Louisville players appointed to Rally's U of L Dream Team.

Wagner was chosen by Dallas in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft, and went on to win a world championship as a member of the 1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers. He enjoyed a lengthy pro career. Wagner spent one season with the Miami Heat (1990-91) and also played in the CBA, as well as Israel and Europe.

Wagner led Camden High School in his hometown of Camden, N.J. to a state title.

He and his wife, Jan, have a daughter, Janay Elise. Wagner also has a son, Dajuan, a 2002 NBA Draft lottery pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and two daughters, Munirah and Dashonda. He earned his bachelor's degree in Sports Communication from Memphis in 2004.

Tony Madlock: From UTEP Bio

Tony Madlock has played a key role in the resurgence of UTEP basketball over the last three seasons. His coaching and recruiting expertise have paid dividends as the Miners have increased their victory total in each of the last three years.

UTEP landed a berth in the Conference USA Tournament semifinals and the inaugural CBI during the 2007-08 season. The Miners followed that up by posting 23 wins and advancing to the CBI Championship Series a year ago.

Leading the resurgence of UTEP basketball has been three of the top guards in school history - Stefon Jackson, Conference USA's all-time leading scorer; Randy Culpepper, who already holds the school standard for three-point field goals (170) with two seasons to play; and Julyan Stone, who shattered the Miner single-season standard for assists with 236 in 2008-09.

UTEP added some frontcourt firepower to the mix in 2008-09 with Arnett Moultrie, who became only the third player in school history to pull down 300 rebounds in a season.

Madlock came to El Paso following a nine-year stint at Arkansas State. He helped the Indians capture the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title in 1999, earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Arkansas State also won the Sun Belt regular season championship in 1998. Madlock was elevated from assistant coach to assistant head coach at ASU during the 2000-01 season.

He recruited six junior college All-Americans while at ASU. He also recruited the only junior college player in school history to score 1,000 points in two seasons. In addition, Madlock coached four All-Conference players and the Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year during his time with the Indians.

Madlock began his coaching career as an assistant and teacher at Melrose High School in Memphis. Melrose High posted a 67-29 mark over three seasons with Madlock on staff, and garnered a runner-up showing at the 1997 state tournament with a 32-7 mark. Madlock also played his prep ball at Melrose, receiving All-State and honorable mention All-America honors as a point guard.

He earned his bachelor's degree in marketing from Memphis in 1991, and played for the Tigers from 1988-92. Madlock was a member of four postseason tournament teams at Memphis (two NCAA, two NIT), leading the Tigers to the Elite Eight of "The Big Dance" in 1992. A three-year starter at Memphis, Madlock still ranks among the school's all-time leaders for games played (128). After scoring in double figures his junior and senior seasons, Madlock played one year of professional basketball in South America.

He and his wife, Stacie, have two children -- daughter Kyndal (9) and son T.J. (6).
