The board wants Mike Anderson and he has been contacted and reportedly claimed he wants to wait until after the NCAA's to discuss anything.
Jeff Long who is the Hogs AD contacted Bill Self as well, and reports say he is interested in a discussion after the NCAA's but that's it. Also saying the Big 12 that will be crumbled to bits by 2015 is the main reason why he is showing some signs of interest instead of a direct no as he usually says to offers.
Tubby Smith is very interested in the job but wants something done quick because he is reportedly in contract extension talks with the Gophers.
Rick Pitino has been contacted but there's no news on that front.
KSU coach (brain farting his name right now, Martin or some shit) has been contacted and he is showing interest rumor says.
Buzz Williams from Marquette has been contacted also and wants the job, but he is not the first choice so that is being pushed back until other coaches give word.

The whole Bill Self thing to me is fucking stupid. I don't see him leaving Kansas but I don't doubt he isn't at least hearing an offer from Arkansas cause of the Big 12 situation, and the fact that he might want a new challenge in reviving the history of Arkansas basketball. But I don't buy for one second he will be our coach, not at all.
Mike Anderson, Tubby and Buzz IMO it's between them three. Mike is trying to stave off the Mizzou media but there's no secret he is interested after being here as an assistant for 16 years or so. I don't think Tubby has anything left but I'm probably wrong there, and I don't want Buzz. Tired of little school coaches coming to the big stage and flopping on their face like Stan Heath did before John Pelphrey, then John himself. Arkansas needs a big name and a proven guy.
