It might be useful to take a look at things from the hypothetical BOT/Hatch position.
1. Ron Wellman just became chair of the NCAA men's basketball tournament selection committee.
2. He will be chair for two tournaments, an unusual situation, because the previous chair is no longer working at the school from which he was selected for the job.
3. Chair of the committee is a prestigious job and reflects well on WFU.
4. WFU is in process for purchasing the Joel and performing major renovations to it. Ron Wellman has a track record of doing well in the facilities upgrade area.
5. Firing Wellman, or putting him in the position of needing to resign by outright firing the head men's BB coach at WFU would reflect badly on them and WFU.
6. Therefore I would expect them to give him a reasonable amount of time to do what needs to be done. IMHO, that means some members of the BOT/Hatch talk very informally to RW next week, after the tournament selections are done.
7. The first week of the NCAA tournament is the busiest week. 36 games need to be played, 36 teams need to lose by Sunday, to reduce the field to 32. The committee members, RW among them, should be in attendance at some of the games.
8. Wellman then has time to come home, have a few days to officially sit down with the BOT/Hatch (his boss) and then the WFU head BB coach and discuss the results of the season in comparison with preseason goals, and decide what to do going forward:
a. Fire him
b. extend him
c. do nothing, and leave him with a very short remaining contract.
9. Thus I would not expect anything until late the week of March 25. This schedule will avoid the "too late" firing of last time, but not look like it was done in haste or panic. It will be important to the BOT/Hatch that any action was the result of a deliberate, well thought out process, not a reaction. That perception will be useful going forward.
