DeVries was going with him to Oregon. The decision was made. It wasn’t “this might happen.” They committed.
And then, like Altman in Arkansas - well, maybe not EXACTLY like that - DeVries changed his mind and stuck around at Creighton. Now doing good things at Drake. I still think he’s the next coach at Creighton, even if it’s now farther down the road.
In the multiverse, I wonder how the world of college basketball is different if DeVries goes to Eugene? Marvel should make a movie about that.

I had forgotten about D-Rock leaving with Altman. It's a shame, to Creighton's benefit, that it took him as long as it did to become a head coach. Such a great guy and terrific coach.

That said, the position was filled relatively quickly (like, within a week IIRC) so I'd absolutely believe Ras went out and got the candidate at the top of his list.

Very interested in Mel’s response, since he said I’m wrong and Manny is correct - when Manny and I are saying the same thing. This should be good.

Mel, standing by to learn what I was wrong about. Take your time. I wasn’t wrong, so I’d love to hear why you thought I was.
