Shooter with a few tid-bits:
Gophers associate athletics director Mike Ellis has been heavily involved in the Villa 7 program that identifies and nurtures promising assistant basketball coaches, including Andy Enfield before he became head coach at Florida Gulf Coast. Some are wondering, according to reports, whether Gophers AD Norwood Teague will try, with Ellis, to bring Enfield to Minnesota to succeed Tubby Smith.
Don't think former Indiana coach Bob Knight, 72, wouldn't take the Gophers men's basketball coaching job if offered.
Rick Majerus, who died at age 64 of heart failure in December, would have been a bona fide Gophers coaching candidate.
There's whispering in NBA circles that Flip Saunders, who is in the Gophers coaching hunt, also could end up with an offer to coach the Cleveland Cavs in his home state.
If the Timberwolves' coaching job becomes available, don't be surprised if ex-Wolf Fred Hoiberg at Iowa State gets consideration.
Sleeper possibility for the Gophers' job: Virginia's Tony Bennett.
A little birdie says Gophers men's basketball assistant Joe Esposito, fired Monday, on Tuesday interviewed for a head college coaching job outside of Minnesota but would like to remain in the state.
Eric Musselman, son of former Gophers-Timberwolves coach Bill Musselman, is expected to be sought by Cal State-Fullerton.
Brian Dutcher, son of former Gophers basketball coach Jim Dutcher, remains the certain successor for the head coaching job at San Diego State when Steve Fisher decides he's had enough.
