If it's true that several coaches turned Pitt down--including Enfield because we wouldn't pay him Dixon money--and we are getting Stallings, what are our options RIGHT NOW if Barnes is reading the boards, blogs, and tweets and realizes he's in a world of sh!t with the entire fan base?
1) Could he call Enfield back and give up the Dixon $? It would cost a ton (both with that salary and breaking the new Stallings contract) but the entire fan base would be happy.
2) Is there anyone else he could interview/offer at this point that they haven't already? I personally would be great with David Arseneault Jr. since he's very successful in the NBA D-League with the world's most exciting style (Grinnell's coach is his dad), and he's a young go-getter (29). He wouldn't cost much as a new college coach, so you dump the money into assistants who recruit. Who else would you want them to approach that hasn't already turned us down?
