Moton or Dooley would be really good hires, because both know the area. I am not sure whey Dooley backed out last time, which in turn made ECU hire Lebo but if he wants to be at ECU then the coaching search shouldn't go past him and Moton.

UCONN will not go after Crean.

Why not?

Indiana is a Top 10 program. UCONN is a Top 10 program. Crean failed at Indiana (which landed better recruits than UCONN). What has changed for him to perform any better at UCONN?

The Hurley bros should be primary targets.

I wouldn't say Crean "failed" at Indiana. If you take out his 1st 3 years where he was rebuilding the program from the bedrock level he went 138-69 won the big 10 twice and went to the sweet 16 three times. Doesn't look or smell like failure unless your expectations are unreasonable like Indiana's were.

Crean may not be the right fit for UConn, but he's a good coach.
