Holtman would probably be a great hire. But I doubt he is even on Alleva's radar.
With Brad Underwood leaving OSU, Steve Prohm is now one of, if not the lowest paid coach in the Big 12. He and his staff have deep Louisiana/Gulf Coast connections. I think he would be a good fit for LSU and he is MORE than prime for the taking (LSU could offer a big pay raise; Fred Hoiberg is about to become available again which means Prohm will be coaching against his ghost at ISU; He's losing nearly every significant player from this year's team, which means a big rebuild next season)
LSU could ABSOLUTELY pounce, but from everything we've heard, it appears Alleva is wanting to go cheap (Prohm has a $1 mill buyout which Alleva purportedly doesn't want to consider paying)
Illinois' AD didn't use a search firm and he was able to take a good coach away from OSU when no one knew he would even be available. Alleva will probably dump $75k into a search firm only to hire Kermit Davis, a guy you or I for $75 could have told him would be available.
Whether their hires are good or not, Mizzou, Illinois, NC State all pounced quickly and got their new coach one day after that coaches season ended. Well Joe, Iowa State is done. MTSU is done. VCU is done. Nevada is done. If the new coach is coming from one of those places, we should start to hear something soon, right?

Prohms buyout is 50% of what's left on his deal. 50% of 3 yrs @ 1.5 per is 2.25M at the cheapest (not sure if any bonuses or media/apparel money comes into play in his buyout). Alleva isn't going that route.

I want to care about LSU basketball again...
It's crazy how other schools can have their new coaches a day or so after that coach is done the season but not even a hint LSU is any closer knowing a new coach would be needed by late January if not sooner...
I'm just going to assume Alleva's "coach" is still playing but I'm sure that would make me look like an arse when the hire comes...
