Marek Warszawski covers questions about Rodney Terry's hire. PTW will take this exception: Coach Reggie got an interview at UNLV because of his connection and that of Jerry Tarkanian's to Vegas basketball. It's not like a number of ADs have him on any short list.

Mike Dunlap is the most intriguing of this trio but it's beginning to seem that like he going to be a career assistant, albeit a highly respected one. Each search is simply an apples and oranges matter.
