Lionel Hollins
ASU Grad and Former Head Coach of the Memphis Grizzles. Won a franchise record 56 games as the Grizzles head coach and took them to the Western Conference Finals. Coaching style consists of strong defense, slow paced, "grit-grind" teams that never quit. Named 2008 NBA coach of the year.
Byron Scott
Former ASU player and Former Head Coach of the New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Coaching style consists of strong 3-point shooting. Went to the NBA finals twice with New Jersey. Named 2007 NBA coach of the year.
Eric Mussleman
Current ASU associate head coach and former head coach of the Sacramento Kings, and Golden State Warriors. He is the most logical choice to take over behind Herb. 2002 runner-up for NBA head coach of the year. Was trending upwards in the NBA before he got a DUI in 2007 and was fired. Coaching styles consists of allowing players to play to their strengths. Uses 3 guards to create mismatches and fast-break opportunities. Jeff Van Gundy called him a brilliant offensive mind. John Calipari said Eric is one of the best in our sport. Extremely driven and knowledgeable. I've watched and coached against him in the NBA and FIBA games. He has an uncanny feel for the game, and ability to read where the game is at. More importantly, is his ability to motivate and teach his players what it takes to improve and win. He is as good as it gets."
Shaka Smart
Current Head Coach at VCU and has lead his team to the tournament 3 out of 4 years. Currently making the exact same amount as Herb at $1.2MM. In each of Smart's three seasons, the Rams have consistently maintained one of the most efficient and disruptive defenses in the nation, ranking 31st in Steals Per Game and 17th in Turnover Margin his first season and 1st nationally in both categories his second and third seasons as head coach. Offensively, Smart-coached teams play uptempo, push the ball after misses, and have with what Smart describes as "the freedom to make plays in the open court.
