I'm suggesting that you believe all this media and it's silly.
Here's how this goes.....
1. Speculation that UT has interest in coach x
2. Local media (or national guys with connections) who cover coach x inquire about coach x interest in job
3. Coach x denies interest
4. Media tweets
5. You take it as UT being shot down
Example of this.... "I'm staying at Tennessee" - Cuonzo Martin
Say we are talking with pitino but haven't offered or even requested an interview.... What do you think Pitino's response is going to be when asked? I have no interest. I'm happy at Minnesota.
