[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1462539, member: 746137"] Before Kentucky hired Cal they hired Billy Gillispie. Before UNC hired Roy they hired Matt Doherty. It's a very seductive and clicks-generating idea that programs have some inchoate quality (coded essentially as "the fans" which is why it's so seductive and clicks-generating) that strictly and reliably determines the desirability of the coaches they are destined to hire. Sadly, it ain't so, and it's mainly just a question of luck and how much money you have to spend. UCLA offered Calipari less than he makes at Kentucky and balked at paying an $8 million buyout for Jamie Dixon, so, yeah, I think that points to where you should look. [/QUOTE]
