Russ Turner is the obvious choice, given the Stanford connection under Monty and his success at Irvine.

Other candidates that should be considered:
- Gregg Marshall (Wichita State) - he won't come, but you should make the call
- Chris Holtmann (Butler) - very good coach, not sure about his recruiting skills at a school like Stanford
- Dave Rose (BYU) - he's who I wanted Stanford to hire when they hired Dawkins
- Eran Ganot (Hawaii) - former assistant at St. Mary's, did a phenomenal job in his first season at Hawaii, but not as much experience as I would prefer
- Linc Darner (Green Bay) - led Green Bay back to the NCAA tourney for the first time in quite awhile in his first year at the school, after having won the DII national championship the year before.

I am not a big fan of hiring assistants from other schools.  Stanford isn't somewhere that you should learn how to coach.  It's one thing if you take over after having been an assistant under a departing successful head coach (aka, Shaw) with the goal of continuing that success, but quite different if you are trying to start something new.
