Didn't his team just blow a 15 point lead in the tourney? Besides why would he want to come here, he's already in the best basketball conference in America.
His brother Bryce (NCAA Tourney legend and former NBA player) is assistant to his father Homer at Valpo, just like Scott used to be. Love to get him but he'd be a fool to walk out the talent he has at Baylor, his best play is to just wait, he'll have his pick of jobs soon enough no sense in...
The challenge of turning the Iowa program around and possibly a pay raise (if Iowa is as flush as everyone says. Hiring another mid-major coach would have epic fail written all over it.
Barbee went to Butler games as a kid long before they were any good, that's the extent of his familiarity with the Butler Way. As you can see from his undisciplined, erratic teams the Butler Way has not influenced his coaching style at all.
The Butler Way would be perfect for Toledo, Lickliter would be a steal for them. Given his age and his spectacular failure at Iowa he wouldn't be very likely to leave if successful there.
Barta should take his time and hire someone who has accomplished something at the power conference level. His job is likely riding on this hire so he can't go with another mid-major flavor of the month.
Take a pass on Barbee, he would a step back from the last 2 basketball HC hires. He has 0 NCAA Tourney skins. His recruiting is also overrated, his old boss John Calipari basically funneled him a bunch of Memphis kids that weren't good enough to play at Memphis.
