No West Or Calipari In Cleveland
Gilbert also spoke with Memphis Tigers head coach John Calipari. "They asked to meet and we talked," Calipari said. "But I'm not a candidate. We've got a good thing going and I'm not looking to do anything. I'm not going to be there. That's not happening. It's just that time of year. I was flattered that they wanted to talk." "There's a lot of names that are kind of circulating out there and a lot of rumors," Gilbert said. "And unfortunately, or fortunately, I can't comment on any of them. ... There's nothing imminent right now signing with anybody but we're getting very close. We're very excited about the candidates we're talking to."

"It's hard to get a head job in this league," said a smiling Musselman, whose last head coaching job was with the Golden State Warriors. Apparently, there were rumblings that Mussleman would be the coach and Brian Hill, who beat Mussleman out for the job, would become the General Manager but this obviously did not happen. Mussleman could still get a head coaching position this summer as he is canadiate in Cleveland but despite published reports, Mussleman has not interviewed with Minnesota or any of the other teams with coaching vacanies. Still, he will be upset if he returns to Memphis next season. "I feel really good about being here," Musselman said. "I like the city. I love working for Mike. I don't look at it as a fall-back. I'm excited about being here and I'm looking forward to next season. If something ever came about, then that's something I can't control. As far as what I can control, I really enjoy being here."
