We could have signed him and just end the interviews. It's ridiculous to have Budenholzer waiting because we wanted to interview coachs like Fizdale, McHale, Borrego.....
This is where I lose my **** mind. If Budenholzer was ready to go why would we be interviewing anyone else? I will answer that question:
Sarver wanted to see how much cheaper the other trash coaches would be for comparison.
So it seems like I called it and was spot on on the 19th after all:Son of Ra wrote:Knowing us it probably went down like this:
We interviewed him (for two days, no less!) and he wanted the job, we had an agreement in principle but we "had to do our due diligence" so we interviewed other coaches for no reason. Bud got upset by this and pulled out.
TBH I don't blame him. If you interviewed me (being a prime candidate) and then one steaming pile of poop after the other after me I'm gonna pull out too.
He's head and shoulders above the other candidates and throwing him in the pot with all the other failures means that we rate him in the same tier.
If this is the case, its not too late. You go back to him and say that after all considered HE is the guy we want head and shoulders above the rest, offer him a great pay package and get him to change his mind. Businesses do this all the time.
