Well... investigations take forever, and since he wasn't the one doing the alleged abusing in the women's swimming case, it will be tougher to determine his culpability (i.e. even more investigation time). Meanwhile Men's hoops doesn't have the luxury of time to find a new coach, and I don't see the university suspending him pending the results of the investigation and if they did, who would make the pick? Some temp AD? It'll be Knowlton, just like it was Mike Williams.
Pasternack really makes a lot of sense now, TBH...his Cal experience and donor ties far outweigh Knowlton's...Pasternack is arguably more of a Cal guy than the F-ing AD! ;-)
Agree we're stuck with him for awhile, maybe till the end of his contract. Not sure I agree it will be his decision on the hire though. I do remember when Barbour was on her way out and Montgomery retired, the rumor was that Wilton, the vice-chancellor at the time, overruled her choice (rumored to be DeCuire) and instead jumped over her to recruit Cuonzo. Maybe true/maybe not. Knowlton will still be the face of the hire, but I don't think that after what happened with the Fox hire, they are just gonna let him spend their millions without at the very least their full consent. I don't think he'll get the benefit of the doubt this time.
Based on nothing, my guess is that he probably won't be making the call and that there might be some disagreement who should be making that call without a consensus on who to go with.
Surely, you can't be serious. -- that's a gimme, but are you looking these up in general or ya just that good? Ok, 'I used to be a heroin addict, now I'm a methadone addict'.
How do you let this clown even make the MBB hire?

I know he is "making" the hire dude...but there's zero chance the donors are not driving the bus. Zero.
Only Cal could f-ck this up as royally as they have. It's a mystery.
Also, the curious about this story dropping now. Gotta at least wonder if some donor(s) didn't drop this now to rein in some power?
Absolutely.
