Interesting list of candidates. Three assistant coaches from high-level D-1 programs plus Weir. I'm guessing it will come down to how well the interviews go. Weir gives us the ability to continue the program "status quo" without missing a beat, although we've already lost two of our best players from this season to the draft. The one thing we lost with Menzies' departure is a lot of stability, and I'd have to say hoops is the only sport in the program that has had that in the recent future. I expect more of the same under Weir and it would be as if Menzies never left. I also believe Weir deserves a head coaching job and if he doesn't get it here he will leave and land elsewhere at a head coach in the near future. The other three are intriguing because they all come from solid programs within our general geographic footprint, but unless one of them really brings something exciting (like a new recruiting pipeline or a solid strategy to get our program to the next level) I think Weir will emerge with the job.
