Is UCLA About to Lose Yet Another Coaching Candidate?

If coffee is for closers, the JD Morgan Center on the UCLA campus must be declared a coffee-free zone. In fact, I don’t think you’re allowed to bring it past the Bruin Bear.

Why? Because it seems like UCLA is having problems closing a deal for a new men’s basketball head coach.

First, it was John Calipari. There’s no quicker way to not close a coach than to offer him less than what he’s currently being paid, no matter how much prestige a job may have. Of course, that’s assuming there’s any prestige left after the Athetic Department finally completes this search.
