I heard at the time he was very interested and in the final two.

We would have paid him 5X the amount of money that UMBC was paying him, and it's an ACC job that he already knew very well because he had been here. You don't walk away from that. He was my No. 1 at the time because I thought he had the highest ceiling of all legitimate candidates.

Vippie1 • 02/19/26 05:39 PM ET

Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/19/26 06:00 PM ET

More smarts? LMAO. More cash makes a HC seem smarter with better players.**

Wonder if a little more cash to Lawal, he doesn't commit that game-losing
