I don't know why a list got leaked, but it could be for this very reason. We just found out that Wright is not interested. What we avoided was having to ask the University for permission, then having Jay wright come out in the national media and state that he has no interest in the UT job. Kind of a silly game, but it may just be a way to assess interest. Sorta like asking a girl if her friend is interested in you before you ask her out and risk rejection.
