Do we actually know who was interviewed or who was invited to interview and turned it down? One poster who claimed to know has refused 3x to share the list, go figure. Other than that, I don't think I've heard who interviewed. DW just said he cast a wide net. Nothing more specific.Let me put it this way: the people they interviewed or were interested in and turned down interviews were much more big time than Caldwell with much more D1 success or coaching experience. Walz, Rueck, Gottlieb, Wes Moore, Cori Close. Even Kara would've been a better hire, most likely, but she turned down an interview.
The fact that you only think there are three big time coaches in WBB doesn't mean I'm making stuff up. But thanks for the lecture, person that's been here for three weeks.
