Giacoletti on the Radar for the Idaho Job?
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are still playing in the NCAA Tournament, but assistant coach -- and former Utah coach -- Ray Giacoletti could be on the move. The Idaho Statesman named Giacoletti today as a possible successor to fired coach George Pfeiffer at Idaho, though the last time I talked to Giacoletti, he gave the definite impression that he would like more than one year away from the pressure of being a head coach.

Still, whatever problems he might have had at Utah, this is one proud UI alum (class of '92) who would love to have him coach the Vandals. Especially since ... you know, Pfeiffer went all of 12-48 for us. Ugh.

I'm glad for Coach Giacoletti, he deserves another shot after being forced out of Utah.

He would be a great success at Idaho and the pressure would be off a bit.

I don't think he has enough basketball knowledge. Utah had no defense and no offense his last two years. He's a nice guy, I just don't think he's a head coach.
