Possible candidates: Nina Mathies Mike Sealy Jon Wallace Jon Stevenson Bob Stoops Jim Harbaugh David Rubio No, no, no, no, yes, no, no. I'd offer Sunahara Hilliard Hilbert Hambly Sullivan Reed has he had enough success? Would love it personally Hillard no opinion Hilbert possible Hambly shocked if he took it, but good suggestion Sullivan no opinion

They will hire an interim until after the Olympics...Hugh or Karch will be the next head coach at UCLA Karch, maybe now. Hugh I always thought would be a good fit to replace Hebert at Minnesota after 2012, with Wiz's ties up there.

Can someone tell me what coaching experience Karch has other than the last few months with the National Team, and BTW, how did he get that job? I know, great player, but how does that qualify him to coach? WHAT? ? YOU DARE QUESTION THIS? ? Karch is a freaking computer. He is not the sterotypical superstar who was great just because of his athleticism. He was and is a thinker. He may not always come across on TV so well, but he is limited sometimes by producers/partners/time. Doug Beal and Hugh made a great call with his hiring and I believe he could do a great job as a HC. HE'S KARCH-FREEEAAAKKKINNNN-KIRALY!!!!Bow down before his uberness. LOL.

I hope Gil and Lauren are finally happy. I'm sure all the other girls left on the team that didn't quit on their teammates are... The whole staff would still be there if it wasn't for those 2 selfish players. Sad thing to see when selfish actions hurt those "teammates" they signed up and committed to play with. Geez, mom, get over it. Sour grapes this early in the morning is not good for your digestion.

I don't think you will see any of the PAC10 coaches making a move. The only possible ones are possibly ones on the hot seat at their current school - Rubio for instance, and they're not getting it.
You are over estimating the UC financial crunch on the decision process.
They would consider:
Mary Wise (not leaving) Ricci Luyties (good possibility) Karch (he may be Karch, but lack of big time coaching would keep him from this job) Jon Stevenson (no way...too much baggage...if you have to ask you are not enough in the know...not discounting his coaching ability however) Tom Hilbert (likely a candidate and perhaps would be leading candidate) Brent Hilliard (strongest candidate for assistants, even over Sealy) Wallace (candidate, but not likely to get it) Nina Mathias (not moving, not happening anyways) Kevin Hambly (legit candidate, not sure he would move...$160,000 goes a lot farther in IL than that or even $250,000 in LA) John Cook (are you serious?) Jerritt Elliott (again, are you serious?....leave the best funded athletic program in the country because you are a SoCal boy) Denise Corlett (doesn't want to be a head coach - EVER AGAIN!)
The 4 best programs to be at for elite coaches are in this order:
Nebraska Hawaii Stanford Texas
For all of those fans at other schools (Penn St. for example), I am not saying you are not elite, I am simply saying from a funding, support, fan base, assistant salaries, camps, all the perks, the above are far and away better for an elite coach than the rest of the programs in the country.

Rich Feller- move within the UC system? would be interesting No way. He's at Cal as long as he feels like coaching. I doubt he wants to uproot his family now.

There is no way Elliot is taking the job. Period.
I don't know much about Sealy but if he does decide to go there I would see him as more of an assistant coach. I think Tom Hilbert would be awesome. Hambly has a bunch of really talented girls coming in and I think he's going to stay there for a while.

I was checking out news stories on this via Google News. Most were garden variety stuff attributed to "staff and wire services", but this seemed to be the most thorough: Coach's retirement stuns CookNebraska coach John Cook said he was stunned to hear of UCLA coach Andy Banachowski's retirement. www.omaha.com/article/20100111/BIGRED/701119851/0/FRONTPAGE

Other possible names:
Anne Kordes (experience enough?) Chris Lamm (seems poised to take a big program) Terry L at oregon State (Olympic Coach Mark Rosen (recent success at Michigan, west coast ties) Rubio (would be a nice time for him to change) Christy Johnson (hottest female coach right now) Jim barnes (success at Baylor) Geoff Carlston (has rebuilt Oho State) Hambly (rebuilt Illinois, National Team and west coast ties) Debbie Brown (established female candidate) Prentice Lewis (good success at TCU) Craig Skinner (completely rebuilt Kentucky)

Christy Johnson would be an excellent choice, though I hoped to see her back at Nebraska some time in the distant future.

Last coach to beat Andy takes his job. Symmetrical but will never happen. Waco to LA? No culture shock there. Most of this list are successful coaches but not sure UCLA worthy, yet.

What about the coach for Washington State? Could he recruit the top players to UCLA?
My first choice is Paula Weishoff. She would eventually have to move from Orange County because the commute would be a drag, but this is the type of position worth relocating. She did coach UCIrvine to a victory over Cal in her first season; rather impressive for a team that had not been in the top 25 for a long time.

When I first read the press release about Andy, my initial thought was this was not his decision. After reading it again, I came to the same conclusion. The prepared quotes by both the Athletic Director and the Associate Athletic Director(how many times does an Associate AD get quoted?) are just to prepared. With his retirement being such a surprise to everyone, it just has the feel of being orchestrated by the administration. First the canceling of the banquet and then by not renewing his contract.

Barnes is good but he's had, what, a couple of good years? Debbie Brown hasn't had the success. Rubio...c'mon.
I think the candidates are going to be mostly West Coasters, if not all of them.

Lee Maes came to Nebraska from Cal to learn from Cook hoping to become a head coach. He got his shot at Virginia. May be too soon to get the UCLA job but maybe to fill the position vacated by the person who does. Nebraska fans love him and I hoped he would return to Nebraska some day.
