Re: Another candidate says "no thank you"
This is hilarious. This morning one of the guys here in the office said he got a call from one of the sports writers from the Democratic Gazette telling him that Calipari was a done deal...take it to the bank.
hmmmm....has a familiar ring to it. :wink0st:

That is probably dead on the money, no pun intended. I can't believe I didn't figure the money in that. Oh well, time for a payday I guess.

Yeah, Phil Knight (NIKE) is withholding money for new practice facilities because of his dislike of Kent. Of course, you can't fire a guy after an Elite 8 season, but they would like for him to explore other opportunities.
If they can get rid of Ernie, then they will throw a boatload of money at Mark Few, who is an alum of the University of Oregon.
Re: Atman to Arkansas announced today
You ought to have seen the press conference down here....it was a real snoozer. :dull8ay: I got a chuckle when they started to call the Hogs and Altman had that embarrassed look on his face like "what the hell am I doing?!?!". His wife just sat at the table fairly motionless with a frozen grin of horror on her face. At one point he described himself as a boring coach, not flashy and let me tell you that is NOT what rabid Hog fans want to hear.
I really don't know a whole lot about Altman but a first glance, I personally think they fired Stan Heath and hired another "Stan Heath". He may have been successful with Creighton but I really question if he can pull of the same success at Arkansas.
I can't wait to hear some of the feedback now that the hiring is complete. I really think UA could have done better. Broyles indicated before the search that he was going for the 'grand slam' coach....I think he ended up with a sacrifice bunt instead. Time will tell
