Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger has been interviewed for the UCLA head coaching job, according to Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times.
Bolch reported that Tennessee coach Rick Barnes is the front runner for the UCLA job. The Bruins had zeroed in on TCU coach Jamie Dixon, but UCLA was reportedly unwilling to pay his buyout.
Latest I've heard is that Rick Barnes and Lon Kruger have been interviewed for the UCLA job, with Barnes considered the frontrunner. He's 64, two years younger than Kruger, and is coming off a national-coach-of-the-season at Tennessee.
