Again, I don't see even a reference to JB going to the AD and asking that his retirement date be extended.  Wildhack just reaffirms that a plan is in place in the first article.  And it wasn't because he felt the need to do that but because he was asked a question.  The second article even says things [B]seem[/B] vague.  And most people here took the reference to mean that JB could leave even earlier since he is not one to want a grand retirement tour.  And Thamels article says nothing about a quote, just that people around JB [B]feel[/B] he'll find a way to coach beyond next season.  Again, no direct quote or even an unnamed quote.  These all lead to the "everybody knows" situation.  I only know what the writers are saying , their opinions, no facts.  The fact remains that the only quotes are from JB saying he intended next year to be his last.

Here is something for your side.  Just a while ago on a Rochester talk show, the commentator said that earlier in the year he was told that there was friction between JB and Hop.  After that the commentator said he paid specific attention to see if the two interacted during games.  And he said it seemed to him that JB didn't talk to Hop during the games.  He thought that that MIGHT infer that there was friction.  Again, just opinion but at least the guy says that is such.  I don't pay much attention to what happens on the bench but maybe somebody here noticed the same thing OR maybe it is JB's way not to do a lot of interaction with coaches during a game.
