Nobody thinks [Redacted] was our top choice, but people inside basketball knew who he was. That posters on this board didn't is irrelevant.
Your points are immaterial.
There is no evidence that [Redacted] and Wellman had any contact before the search.
Dude, there are lists of the top assistant coaches in the country. There are lists of the top coaching free agents in the country. They circulate every year. I know that Jeff [Redacted] wasn't on either of those lists when Wellman was allegedly making his shortlist.
I follow three basketball leagues (NCAA, NBA, and ACB) very closely and have for 15 years: so I knew who Jeff [Redacted] was at the time. That doesn't answer my question or illuminate the key points of contention in scooter/Ph's exchange.
The key point was that it was cronyism that got Jeff [Redacted] onto the short list and eventually the Wake job when Stevens and Smart rebuffed our offer. You have added nothing to clarify this in either Ph or scooter's favor...
But, since we're now going back-and-forth, please answer the following:
When was the last time that a college basketball coach with a losing record at the bottom of a BCS conference was offered a job at a better school with a winning record in a better conference. Let's quantify "losing record": 25% in-conference winning percentage.
