Just my $.02 from the nose bleed seats but lets say Ehsan is the main man but he/his agent say "you were paying the previous coach $X" so I'm going to need pretty close to that but that's not what we offer nor are willing to so neither side meets in the middle. Ehsan is a bit like Haase was when we hired him - a record as an asst w/ some HC who know a thing or 2 but no HC exp. Any AD, including the most inept ones, will have backups in case the first deal can't be reached. Maybe Person is the No2 choice or someone we don't even totally know about. He's paid the $$$ to make those decisions & only will time tell if they're good or not but that's the case w/ anyone hiring anyone. If you've ever hired someone - what's your success rate? Ingram's is probably even tighter than any of ours due to the recent issues w/ UABOT/Watts/etc hanging over his head. I'm sure he probably won't go far off the reservation w/o prior approval of some of the big check writers who may have a selection of their own unknown to us atm who ends up doing fine.
