And Barnes obliged. Must have been the Christian thing to do.It’s a common courtesy to notify the AD that you wish to interview the coach. It’s a fair practice that gives the AD the chance to try to keep the coach if he/she wants. What UCLA did was basically try to steal Barnes like a thief in the night but given their desperation at this point it’s not surprising.
Wonder why this appears to be the etiquette in college sports? Can’t recall a prospective employer contacting my current employer prior to interviewing me, only if things got serious and they wanted to verify my employment.It’s a common courtesy to notify the AD that you wish to interview the coach.

I think that was pretty much a given back when greed comes from the university, players, and millionaire coaches. I read an article a while back about how the TexTec coach now was at Nevada and the AD called Nevada AD and told her I think that he was hiring the coach. She said you have not asked permission and he said he did not have to and he had already talked to Chris Brand and he was coming to TT. No loyalty among thieves anywhere now. Not sure had Barnes got to UCLA if Phil and been asked or not but I would have hoped so. Don't say this deal with Barnes was not about money because it she looked it to many on VN!
