UCLA are looking to hire Tony Bennett as their next head coach. 

“They are going hard after Tony Bennett and he has not said no yet,” according to a source.

Bennett's grinding style of play would be an issue in winning over UCLA fans.

“That cost [former coach Ben] Howland. They never embraced him because of his defensive approach. The low-scoring and methodical pace was not appreciated by Coach [John] Wooden or the fans," according to the source.
