On tonight’s broadcast, Walton suggested that former PresidentBarack Obama was the man for the job. Never mind that he has never coached basketball near this level before. He has picked NCAA tournament games, and his brother-in-law used to coach Oregon State.
UCLA is desperately in need of hope but it would be require some audacity for Obama to lead the program out its malaise.
