I think the search committee is in place solely to make sure things are on the up and up and no gray area is explored. A checks and balances and a way for everyone to cover their rears.

At the end of the day, will they all be interviewing the candidates? yes. But the decision is going to be Barta's and Barta's alone.

so b.j. isn't officially on the search committee then? some might read into that a bit.

 

[Hooper]

From what I have heard, Bob Hanson will be a very active member of the search committee, and I really hope he IS.

 

[big10fan]

i'm glad bobby is on the team. hopefully he'll keep barta from doing something stupid. not that i think barta is stupid, we just can't afford to mess this up.

 

[ForeverHawk]

Yes, B.J. is probably not included in case he is added in some capacity to the new coaching staff?

That's not a search committee that's the finalizing or oversight committee. That group isn't going to go out there and contact the coaches directly until we know they have interest due to the public availability of information once they contact them. (Sunshine).

Our search committee when we hired Lick was called Parker Executive Search. They made contact with the coaches "people" to see if there was interest. I'm not sure if we've given a retainer to any executive search firm yet this year but I'm sure one of you Freedom of Information Act fellas could find that information.

Good thing Bobby is on that committee; the rest might not know a BB from a volleyball. Political correctness rules again.

 

[BlitzBuster]

If I remember correctly BJ was on the last search committee

 

[AZmess]

I took a class from Ellie Herman

You were going to say that no matter what woman was on the committee weren't you?

 

[chadfrey]

Yes, B.J. is probably not included in case he is added in some capacity to the new coaching staff?

Bingo. If BJ wants to be considered for head or assistant positions, he should not be a part of the search team.

I guess this means that the search has not really started or we have not identified our main target yet?

 

[HawkeyesWin]

Oh great. A committee.

 

[Hawkfuzz]

Other than Hansen, the committee's ajoke.

 

[PlanoHawk]

Lame... really?

 

[Thawki]

You can't be on the committee if you might get the job?

Someone should have told Dick Cheney that when he was heading up W's search for a VP.

 

[DuffMan]

Relax guys, this committee is just the committee selection committee. It's there job to make sure we put together a qualified committee when the time comes to hire a coach.

 

[TooLegit]

They should have Sprewell on the committee. Whichever coach he chokes last, gets the job.
