Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 1248021, member: 309"] Put yourself in McDonald's shoes: you are demoted at work, which means your career there is at a dead end. Unlike many employment situations, an assistant coach's career is generally tied to the head coach, so it's not like you can simply wait for your boss to move on. Beyond what appeared in the papers, very few, if any of us know the actual circumstances of how/when McDonald was informed, so I think it's foolish to debate hypothetical scenarios. With respect to the timing of McDonald's announcement, his forte is recruiting, so I'm sure NCSt wanted him on board now and not after LOI day (I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't one of the terms of his employment). Also, from McDonald's perspective, after this weekend's coaches convention in San Antonio, coaching openings begin to dry up. [/QUOTE]
